Just like any other home and garden insects,cockroaches有时只是无法抵抗人的肉。蟑螂被归类为杂食。这意味着他们对植物和肉类都有食欲。实际上，蟑螂几乎吃了他们路过的任何东西（植物，肉，垃圾等）。
但是，与蚊子相比，很少发生蟑螂叮咬。而且由于这些肮脏的蟑螂是nocturnal insects, it is inevitable for us to become easy targets in our sleep if they decide to have a taste on you.

Again, this is an EXTREME case, and chances are, you will never go through a similar situation (or nightmare).
为什么蟑螂咬？
We all know that cockroaches are naturally shy and evasive. They scurry away at the very first sign of human presence. In fact, they are mostly active in the dark and hide whenever you decide to turn on the lights.
那为什么要咬呢？
As mentioned previously, it is rare for cockroaches to bite humans, but bites can occur in places with严重的不受控制的侵扰。如果允许蟑螂种群增长，他们开始进食的食物来源可能无法维持人口，从而改变了饮食习惯。

When and where do cockroaches bite humans?
Cockroaches bite only in our sleep.
如前所述，蟑螂是害羞的昆虫，他们不敢接近一个醒着的人。只有当我们入睡时，他们才能靠近我们并咬一口。考虑到这些昆虫本质上是夜间的，我们不是。
您还应该认为蟑螂咬合是一个很好的警告信号。
If you get bitten by a cockroach then your infestation has already taken place inside your home and is in the process of getting fairly large (not good).
Cockroaches will usually take a bite on your fingers, fingernails, toes, mouth, face, hands, and eyelashes.
蟑螂叮咬是什么样的？
那里有很多昆虫，他们时不时地把我们蒙住了。有时，似乎不可能将蟑螂叮咬与其他昆虫制造的咬伤区分开。
如果您在互联网上搜索蟑螂咬合图片，您将找不到太多。如果有的话，您会发现人们认为是蟑螂叮咬的其他虫子的照片（但事实并非如此）。
Below is a picture of a man’s arm after multiple bites from cockroaches that infested his home. Presumably, the infestation grew so large that it exceeded the food supplies they could reach and started to nibble on his arms, legs, and torso.

与蚊子叮咬相比，蟑螂叮咬很大。
咬伤部分的周围区域似乎肿胀，与典型的蚊子叮咬相同的发红。刮擦时，肿胀会加剧和增长，内部的脓液也会变得更大。咬合周围也出现皮疹，作为皮肤的过敏反应。蟑螂叮咬通常是两到三个红色的颠簸，类似于类似bed bug bites。
Are cockroach bites dangerous?
Cockroach bites lead to swelling, rashes, and minor complications if scratched and left unattended.
这些叮咬可以持续几天，可能会很烦人。有人asthma可能遭受哮喘攻击，但不是直接是因为蟑螂咬伤而是由于暴露于过敏原carried by the said insect. Compared to other insect bites particularly those made by mosquitoes, cockroach bites don’t really pose a serious threat to human health.
Although,cockroaches are carriers ofSalmonella,E。大肠杆菌, and other nasty diseases that could pose a threat if bitten and your skin is exposed.
如何处理和治疗蟑螂叮咬
面对蟑螂咬，您应该做的第一件事就是抵制刮擦它的冲动。这些叮咬可能很痒，抓挠它们只会使情况恶化。
Instead of scratching the bite, wash it with soap and water. This is to eliminate all the traces of germs, bacteria, and allergens left behind by the insect. Apply ice on and around the bite area to relieve swelling and itchiness. Rubbing the bitten area with sliced onion is also an effective detoxification process.
Alcohol is also a good防腐剂that can help reduce inflammation. If ice is not around, come up with a baking soda paste. You can do this by mixing equal amounts of baking soda and vinegar. Apply the paste over and around the bite area and leave it for at least 20 minutes. The solution makes a good disinfectant and has a soothing effect on the swollen part of the bite.
如何防止蟑螂叮咬
Cockroaches love filth and they are extra sensitive in smelling rotten and leftover food.
To prevent cockroach bites, you should maintain a clean home especially in areas where you do the cooking, cleaning, and throwing. Keep your dining, kitchen, and sink areas squeaky clean, and always cover your trash bins. Avoid eating in your bedroom and wash your hands and mouth before you hit the bed.
