We’ve all heard the jokes about cockroaches being the only survivors of a nuclear explosion. They are certainly resilient creatures. They move quickly, they multiply at a rapid rate, and a cockroach infestation is something that should be given serious attention.
As they are drawn to human food, cockroaches are a very real source of food contamination, spreading bacteria and parasites. One of these is Salmonella, which can result in a range of diseases that includes food poisoning and even typhoid in extreme cases. Dysentery, gastroenteritis, and fever are other illnesses caused by these creatures as they crawl unseen over food, utensils, and crockery.
Cockroaches also spread allergens which are another health hazard to humans, resulting in allergy symptoms such as itching, redness and asthma attacks.
