Question 1

can cockroaches lay eggs in a humans hair?

Accepted Answer

Yes but unlikely.: You'd have to have a significant infestation for this to happen, and the texture of hair isn't what they're looking for to lay eggs. White egglike structures, especially if stuck to the hair shaft, are far more likely to be the nits of head lice. Cockroach eggs would wash off with a good shampoo or two; lice eggs will not and need to be combed out.

Question 2

do body lice (pediculus humanus var corporis) most often lay eggs in clothing/bedding/apholstery(fabrics) where humans tend to relax at night?

is it true or false that body lice eggs on fabrics can take up to 2 weeks to hatch?

Accepted Answer

: LICE CAN OCCUR ON YOUR HAIR AND PUBIC AREAS ALSO AND LAY EGGS EVERY WHERE. THE EGGS SIX A DAY  ARE LAID BY THE FEMALE AND TAKE SIX TO NINE DAYS TO HATCH.

Question 3

when does the fertilised egg takes the human form? a month after fertilization or 2 months after?

Accepted Answer

A fetus: A fetus is a human form. These are human cells dividing and growing.

Question 4

for reference, how does spider transmit diseases to humans? is it because of the ingestion of eggs? how do you know if you contract the disease?

Accepted Answer

Spiders don't: Spiders do not transmit disease to humans.  A bite from a venomous spider such as a Black Widow or Brown Recluse can cause, at times, serious symptoms that are usually treated with supportive care.  Ticks, mosquitos and fleas transmit a number of diseases.

Question 7

can stress and anixety stop a human embryo/ fertilised egg attaching/implanting to the uterus i asked a similar question but didn't get the answer ?

Accepted Answer

No answer: Doctors prefer to have "evidence based medical guidelines" and approved tests to definitively give medical advice and answers.  There are no tests that can truly prove if stress can cause what you are asking, and most likely will never be done.  Stress can certainly cause physical ailments, but the answer to your question is no one knows for sure.

Question 10

my brother swallowed an insect and his affairs that it could lay eggs or live inside cannot calm him down ?

Accepted Answer

Not possible: Due to the very harsh/acidic conditions of any human's being stomach and digestive system, an insect would not be able to live in there. Tell him that his stomach is much stronger than a little insect. Maybe his favorite piece of candy will help to calm him down as well! Best wishes.
