Do cockroaches offer us any good?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medicine & food: Cockroaches have been used for millennia in chinese medicine for "blood stagnation" (improving circulation), treatment for stoke & dementia & appears to be useful as an antibiotic & to treat cancer. It is used in brazil to treat asthma. It is also used homeopathically to treat asthma & other ailments. Some people eat them as food- which, while unappetizing, is a good alternative to starving!
