Misinformation about kissing bugs

· 5 minutes read

This year, a hoax about a so-called "kissing bug" that spreads disease is circulating among Hungarian websites. With this article, I would like to dispel the fears that arise from this. In short: we don't need to be afraid of it, such a dangerous animal does not live in Hungary, or even in Europe.
