Charles Darwin is believed to have contracted Chagas disease during his travels in South America, particularly while he was in Brazil. The disease is caused by the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite, which is typically transmitted to humans through the bite of triatomine bugs, commonly known as "kissing bugs." Although Darwin did not explicitly document the illness, he experienced symptoms consistent with Chagas disease after returning from his expedition. His health issues during that period have led many to speculate about this potential infection.
