Q: Do cockroaches bite humans?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s very uncommon for roaches to bite humans. Cockroaches don&rsquo;t need humans for food and prefer to be elsewhere than on a living being. They have no poison or powerful pincers to cause any significant damage. However, in very bad infestations cockroaches have been known to search humans for dead skin cells, which leads to them nibbling around feet, hands, and eyelashes. They don&rsquo;t cause any serious harm, but this is an easy way to spread the diseases cockroaches carry.</p></div>
