While they do not bite, German cockroaches can pose health risks. They carry bacteria and pathogens that can contaminate food and surfaces, leading to illnesses like food poisoning and diarrhea. Their shed skins and droppings can also trigger allergies and asthma, particularly in children and those with respiratory conditions. Because they reproduce quickly, even a small infestation can lead to significant contamination in a short amount of time.
