I feel some better but only a little, Juan. After watching a show on PBS and reading a New York Times article about how resistant some bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites are becoming to even super antibiotics and how far too few drug companies are investing in developing new super drugs to meet the challenge - and the none of the world governments are doing more than "studying" the situation rather than funding R&D - it's amazing we're any of us left walking around healthy.

I wonder if our dogs also become as resistant to antibiotics are humans are becoming?

Thank you for posting this...my brother lives in Austin, Texas so I sent it to him. Now he's freaked out (he has 2 cocker spaniels).
Googled 'kissing bugs' & they look like a mix of roach/ beetle/ mosquito! Yuk I hate bugs!
