Fox News?
Btw, in the news clip it says it is "the new aids of the Americas". Not new aids in America, which would suggest a new strain/mutation of the current virus.

Chagas disease was first recognized in the modern era by Brazilian doctor Carlos Chagas in 1909. But the disease has been around for 9,000 years. Chagas parasites have been found in the remains of mummies from the ancient Chinchorro culture of South America.
There are two phases of Chagas disease: the acute phase and the chronic phase.
The acute phase of Chagas disease lasts for several weeks or months after infection. It often goes unnoticed, as symptoms may be mild. Acute Chagas disease is only very rarely fatal. Most at risk are young children or people with weakened immune systems.
The chronic phase of Chagas disease is more serious. When the parasite is not eliminated, the infection may remain silent -- without symptoms -- for decades. Chronic-phase symptoms appear in about a third of patients. They can be devastating.

lol Chagas. Never thought I'd see that here in North America. It happens quite a bit in Brazil.
