What should I do with the places where cockroaches have crawled?

Cockroaches are a common creature in our lives. With the improvement of modern living standards, cockroaches are becoming more and more dependent on human living environment. We often see them in places like kitchens, which makes people feel very disgusted. This is because cockroaches carry microorganisms such as pathogens, which affect people’s living environment, especially the food they eat. Let’s take a look at what we should do with the places where cockroaches have crawled? I hope everyone can understand it.

Having cockroaches is a troublesome thing. What is particularly annoying about cockroaches is that they will crawl all over the food. Where the cockroaches crawl, they will leave small black spots. Those are actually cockroach feces. Cockroaches have the habit of eating and defecating at the same time. They will "poop" while gnawing on the food.

Things that cockroaches have crawled on just need to be cleaned thoroughly. The specific steps are as follows:

Eating food that has been crawled by cockroaches will not cause poisoning, but it can spread diseases. Cockroaches carry about 40-50 kinds of bacteria that are pathogenic to vertebrates, such as Shigella dysenteriae, Escherichia coli, Yersinia pestis, etc. They can spread pathogenic bacteria such as hepatitis, polio, pneumonia, tuberculosis, etc. Cockroaches can also carry eggs of various worms such as roundworms, duodenal hookworms, beef red nematodes, burn worms, whipworms, etc. They also carry various protozoa, four of which are pathogenic to humans or animals, such as Entamoeba histolytica.

Cockroaches are an important vector of intestinal and parasitic diseases, and their secretions and feces contain a variety of carcinogens. The germs carried by cockroaches are transmitted into the body through the food they crawl through, so for the sake of your health, you must not eat food that has been crawled through by cockroaches.

It is also worth noting that if there are cockroaches at home, all foods must be sealed well, and it is best to wash the dishes and chopsticks before each use.
