What are the health risks associated with cockroaches?
Because cockroaches are so closely associated with humans and commonly feed on decaying food, crumbs or scraps, and frequent unsanitary areas such as sewage systems and septic tanks. Pathogenic organisms have been isolated from cockroaches collected in domestic or peridomestic environments.
The characteristic of ominvorous feeding is the principal reason why the impact of cockroach infestation on human health tends to be underestimated. Cockroaches have the potential to transmit pathogens indirectly via contamination of foods or utensils used to prepare food. Cockroaches acquire pathogenic bacteria simply by walking over cultures.
Salmonella bacteria, the cause of food poisoning, is associated with cockroach infestations. When feces of American cockroaches infected with Salmonella oranienbug were spread on human foods and on glass, the bacteria survived for the following periods: on corn flakes, 3.5 years; on crackers, over 4.25 years; and on glass slides, 3.67 years.
