"California has more residents who have been infected with Chagas disease, which is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, than any other state, in part due to there being so many residents who come from countries where the disease is endemic, according to the report. A study by California’s Department of Health found that 31 of 40 human cases reported between 2013 and 2023 were acquired in other countries. Officials could not rule out local transmission for the remaining cases.

While the disease was once only found in more rural parts of Mexico and Central and South America, it is now present in at least 30 U.S. states."

Most people don't find out they have Chagas until they try to donate blood because it sits dormant.

It can cause heart attacks, seizures, strokes.

Doctors are not required to report cases, so the known numbers are the tip of the iceberg.
