#3 Probably in the cushion of the chair at her desk. New York City is infested with the things, apparently. So, I'm told, are the less nice city sections of Cincinnati. PTSD is perhaps an extreme response to the situation.

#4 Sounds more like she's got depression that's anxiety based.

She should try citalopram, and see if she gets less stressed by a few harmless bugs.

#5 Sue Murdoch, he has plenty of cash. Maybe she's not as dumb as she pretends. At least her lawdog knows where the $$$ are.

#6 The possibility of Chagas Disease is more likely now than ever.

Chagas' disease of South and Central America caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. It usually affects children and young adults and is transmitted by the feces of infected insects, typically the assassin bug. Most of those infected have mild symptoms, such as fever and swelling and redness around the eyes, but from 10% to 30% develop chronic disease that may result in serious or fatal inflammation of the brain and heart tissues. There is no vaccine and no satisfactory treatment. The incidence of Chagas' disease in the United States has increased since the 1970s, possibly because of increased immigration from Mexico and Central America, where the incidence is very high. In immunosuppressed patients (see AIDS) Chagas' disease can form a mass in the cranial cavity that mimics a tumor, presumably because the lymphocytes that guard against the parasite are the same that are depleted by the AIDS virus. See also trypanosome.
