My husband and I have rented an apartment in La Mesa for the month of October. The Kissing Bug or Assassin Bug as they are sometimes called live in the Southwest Desert and my husband is among the 5 percent of our population who is highly allergic to their bite. Has anyone on this forum encountered this bug in the San Diego area? Here is a link to read about the bug.

Yes, I've seen them when I lived in the area (South OC). Even got bit by one once, but suffered no ill effects.

I never heard of them and don't think I've ever seen one before. Lived in SD from birth to 34 and no encounter!

We've seen them in the Mts but not in San Diego. I didn't know they bit humans
