A farmer works outside his adobe hut in the village of San Cristobal, Guatemala April 22, 2008. The home is infested with the Tritomo Dimidiata or 'Chiche Picuda', a cockroach-sized insect that usually sucks blood from around the victim's mouth and carries the Chagas Disease. Chagas infects nearly 10 million people in Latin America a year and kills tens of thousands. Picture taken April 22, 2008. To match feature GUATEMALA-CHAGAS/ REUTERS/Daniel LeClair (GUATEMALA)
