The Kissing Bug: A True Story of a Family, an Insect, and a Nation's Neglect of a Deadly Disease by Daisy Hernández

2.0

This is just a personal preference rating, not commentary on the quality of the book. Mixed memoir/history/pop-science is very en vogue at the moment and I am burnt out. This book was also written for someone with a little less public health/medical knowledge than I and someone who enjoys memoirs a bit more. I did learn an important fact: that Chagas is transmissible in utero, which is something I definitely should have been taught in medical school.
