This bug can kill you

It's a (common name) Eastern Bloodsucking Conenose, a species of "kissing bug" capable of carrying a potentially fatal parasite. It sucks your blood and bites you on your lip. At night. While you're asleep. And it's found over much of the U.S. This one, I'm very sad to say, was in my bathroom sink. Yesterday.

Thanks very much. I have to say that I'm not sleeping as well as I was . . .
