Abstract
In reports of Kofoid and Whitaker (1936), Herms (1939), Wehrle (1939), and Wood (1941), observations have been recorded concerning the reactions of man after being bitten by various species of Triatoma (Hemiptera, Reduviidae). These reactions vary from a slight local redness at sight of bite to a severe illness lasting several days or weeks. In order to record the physical effects of the bite, the writer tested the feeding reactions of several species of uninfected bugs. The bug was allowed to feed on the left hand or arm while using the right hand to record observations.
