what are the possible diseases that can be found on cocroches?


Question:
we have plenty of cocroches in our dormitory and my collegues does'nt mind about that.

Answers:
"Disease-producing organisms such as bacteria, protozoa, and viruses have been found in cockroach bodies. Different forms of gastroenteritis (food poisoning, dysentery, diarrhea, etc.) appear to be the principal diseases transmitted by these cockroaches. These disease-causing organisms are carried on the legs and bodies of cockroaches, and are deposited on food and utensils as cockroaches forage. Cockroach excrement and cast skins also contain a number of allergens, to which many people exhibit allergic responses such as skin rashes, watery eyes, congestion of nasal passages, asthma, and sneezing."

"They do contaminate food and kitchen utensils with excrement and salivary secretions, leaving an unpleasant odor."
