Does a roach bite hurt?


Rate This Answer

A cockroach bite is said to about as painful as being bitten by a large ant, and may leave a red mark that could later itch, probably from an immune system's reaction to the insect's saliva rather than from any venom. The danger of a roach bite is the fact that the roach is a filthy insect, so the bite can become infected. Roaches also taste with their feet, so besides any bacteria which may be present in its bite, if a roach walks across you it could be leaving a trail of bacteria as well.
