"I got home from work, I took a shower, went to dinner and couldn't eat. I felt sick, I couldn’t even drink water and I was shaking. I kept thinking, how can I stop this?"On #WorldChagasDiseaseDay, Armando shares his inspirational story to bring attention to this neglected tropical disease. Currently, only 1 in 10 people with #ChagasDisease are diagnosed, and only a small percentage receive treatment. If left untreated, Chagas can cause irreversible damage to the heart and other vital organs.With an estimated 75 million individuals at risk of infection, it remains a profound public health issue with significant social and economic burdens in Latin America and increasingly on a global scale. Watch Armando's story and help us spread the word at the link in bio.
