A member asked:
I have read that cockroaches can spread typhoid and other such diseases. do all cockroaches have these germs inherently or they will spread these diseases only after coming in contact with contaminated items like poop, garbage etc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COCKROACHES HAVE 30 SPECIES THAT COME IN CONTACT WITH HUMANS INCLUDING TERMITES. THEY COME IN CONTACT WITH MANY GERMS AND BACTERIA AND CAN SPREAD DISEASE TO HUMANS. ELIMINATE THEM FROM HOUSEHOLD AND FOOD CONTACT.
