There are some kinds <strong>of</strong> cockroaches that bite humans. <strong>Cockroaches</strong> that bite are scarce but you should take care<br />

if you live in an area that is heavily infested with those disgusting crawlers as they may chew s<strong>of</strong>t parts <strong>of</strong> skin to<br />

wound it and may nibble on fingernails.

The reddish brown insects feed on almost anything they meet. This includes filthy matters such as strands <strong>of</strong> hair,<br />

dead animals and plants, fecal matter and paper from the garbage. If you leave uncovered food, you leave a<br />

chance for cockroaches to defecate on it leaving behind leftovers <strong>of</strong> the aforementioned contaminants.<br />

2. Entering Body Parts<br />

Cockroach invasion becomes no joke when you hear that cockroaches can enter your body through openings like<br />

those <strong>of</strong> the ears and nose. Small cockroaches can enter your body while you are asleep without being noticed.<br />

Bacteria like Pseudomonas Aeruginosa proliferate excessively inside the guts <strong>of</strong> cockroaches. <strong>Cockroaches</strong><br />

regurgitate their digestive fluids and saliva while feeding and thus spreads such germs on different surfaces<br />

including your food. Various diseases such as sepsis, urinary tract infections and digestive diseases can be caused<br />

by such germs.
