Types Of Cockroaches: Identifying Common Species

Health Risks Of Roaches: The Dangers Of Cockroaches In The House
Because they spend much of their time walking through and feeding in filthy conditions, cockroaches can pick up many kinds of bacteria that can make you and your family extremely sick. All it takes is for the contaminated cockroach to walk across some of your food or leave saliva and droppings in areas where they make contact with your food to expose you to illness.
Can cockroaches bite? Although they can bite, they typically do not bite humans. However, they can expose you to bacteria and other diseases without ever biting you or without you even seeing them.
Additionally, roaches molt frequently, leaving discarded skin behind, along with some body parts. Any of these items can create uncomfortable symptoms for people who have severe asthma or allergies.
