Trypanosoma cruzi bites may appear as asymptomatic on the skin, or there may be typical skin lesions, bruising and swelling of one eyelid.
Trypanosomes prefer to bite the thinner areas of human skin, and after being bitten by a trypanosomatid, one may become infected with American trypanosomiasis, with a large number of parasites circulating in the bloodstream during the acute phase, but most cases are asymptomatic or the symptoms are mild and nonspecific.
In less than 50% of people bitten by trypanosomes, the earliest typical sign is skin lesions or bruising and swelling of one eyelid. Symptoms such as fever, headache, swollen lymph nodes, pallor, and muscle pain may also be present.
If bitten by the trypanosomiasis bug, you should go to the hospital in time, and the doctor will issue an individualized treatment plan according to the specific situation.
