Bit by kissing bug a year ago, posion center advised to get tested for chagasdisease.er people thought i was crazy, who can test for it ?

See Dr...: Either primary care or infectious disease (id). The er is not the place to go when you need specialized testing that takes several days to return a result (as the test you mention does). An id dr can also do a thorough exam and look / test for other problems.
