Abstract
When she was 18 years old, Idalia Isabel (Yaya) donated blood for a relative who had broken his hip in his city, Xalapa, in the state of Veracruz, Mexico. What was supposed to be a routine blood collection ended in complications. And blood tests were performed over and over again until her arm turned purple. A week later, she was on a stretcher in the epidemiology area of the hospital, surrounded by doctors who told her they had discovered that she was suffering from Chagas disease.
