Best Answer

A small percentage of persons bit by the kissing bug can develop anaphylactic shock -- caused by an allergic reaction to proteins in the bug's saliva. Anaphylactic shock CAN be very dangerous and even fatal. If you are allergic to the bite of this bug, you should keep ephinephrine (an Epi-Pen) handy and since they are nocturnal, fly and are attracted to light, keep doors and windows shut.
