There are more than 1,700 scorpion species that have been recognized. They range from a variety of sizes and colors. Scorpions rely on their sense of smell and vibrations because they do not have the best eyesight. While just 1/4 of the species have venom harmful enough to kill an individual.
Kissing bugs are blood suckers like ticks and mosquitoes. They are attracted to light, odor, and warm body temperatures. Serious allergic reactions are quite common leading to redness and skin irritation. The common symptoms are anaphylactic shock that needs immediate medical attention and can cause Chagas disease. This disease is a result of the kissing bug’s feces entering into people’s blood stream.
