CW: medical gore & systematic racism
This is a superb book detailing Chagas or The Kissing Bug disease, which I had not heard of until reading this book.
The author lost an aunt to the disease and has written this book as narrative nonfiction. It’s a compelling book and I could not put it down.
Highly recommend.
