in the 1980s, Daisy Hernández believed that her aunt had
become deathly ill from eating an apple. No one in her family,
in either the United States or Colombia, spoke of infectious
diseases. Even into her thirties, she only knew that her aunt
had died of Chagas, a rare and devastating illness that affects
the heart and digestive system. But as Hernández dug deeper,
she discovered that Chagas?or the kissing bug disease?is
more prevalent in the United States than the Zika virus.After
her aunt’s death, Hernández began searching for answers.
Crisscrossing the country, she interviewed patients, doctors,
epidemiologists, and even veterinarians with the Department
of Defense. She learned that in the United States more than
three hundred thousand people in the Latinx community have
Chagas, and that outside of Latin America, this is the only
country with the native insects?the “kissing bugs”?that carry
the Chagas parasite.Through unsparing, gripping, and humane
portraits, Hernández chronicles a story vast in scope and
urgent in its implications, exposing how poverty, racism, and
public policies have conspired to keep this disease hidden. A
riveting and nuanced investigation into racial politics and
forprofit healthcare in the United States, em The Kissing Bug
em reveals the intimate history of a marginalized disease and
connects us to the lives at the center of it all. em em
