Danger of cockroaches for health.

Not only will you be socially shy if cockroaches are scattered in your home, but cockroaches can also contribute to worsening your family's health. These insects themselves do not cause disease, but they are vectors aka carriers of millions of bacteria and infectious agents that can cause various diseases, from diarrhea to food poisoning. 

Here is the danger of cockroaches to humans:

1. Food contamination

Cockroaches can live by eating anything. Regardless of the food we eat, they also eat dead plants, animals, fecal matter, glue, soap, paper, skin, and even strands of falling hair. While they are crawling at night, they contaminate open food by dumping dirt on it, leaving hair, dead skin, and also empty eggshells in it.

2. Proliferation of disease-causing

bacteria The danger of other cockroaches is from their saliva. When cockroaches eat, they spit out the saliva and digestive juices from their own mouths to inject your food with germs or bacteria that are in their intestines. A study found that Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria can proliferate extensively in the cockroach intestine. It can cause some diseases such as urinary tract infections, digestive problems, and sepsis (blood poisoning).

3. A cockroach bite

Several species of cockroaches have been found to bite humans. The danger of this cockroach is rare, but if your house is very full of these insects, then you should be careful because they can bite the nails, toes, and soft parts of the skin that can cause injury.

4. Attack of body parts

Cockroaches can not only attack your home, but also your body parts. There are some cases that cockroaches enter the ears and nose when you sleep. A small cockroach can easily get into the body hole when you are in a deep sleep.

5. Food poisoning

In the epidemic outbreak of food poisoning, it was found that the decline in cases only occurred after cockroaches were excluded. These insects are also home to Salmonella bacteria that can cause typhoid and food poisoning.

6. Allergies

Cockroaches can cause allergies. The secretions of their saliva and body parts containing hundreds of allergens can trigger unwanted reactions. You may suffer from skin rashes, sneezing, eyes, and watery.

7. Asthma

Cockroaches can be the worst enemy of people with asthma. Incidence of asthma attacks can increase if your home is full of cockroaches. Cockroach allergens can cause severe complications, and can even be life-threatening. And, people who do not have asthma can develop asthma from inhaling cockroach allergens.
