Kissing bugs don't do it for love - they can be deadly

People are cashing in on the Guangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention's offer to buy so-called kissing bugs - dead or alive. The triatomine bugs can spread the potentially fatal Chagas' disease.

"We have now received more than a dozen bugs, both alive and dead, from residents," said Chen Shouyi, director of the section of parasitic and endemic diseases prevention and control department at the center.

"All the bugs will be sent to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention for further identification," Chen told news media on Tuesday.
