Albino roaches look scary. I know.
But, like most roaches, they are unlikely to bite you.
There are reports of cockroaches biting humans.
But that is a rare event.
Reports of cockroaches biting people happen only in two places.
The first is a place with massive infestations.
In this situation, there is insufficient food for the cockroaches, so they resort to chewing on fingernails or eyelashes.
Most people will never experience such a massive infestation, let alone live in one.
That said, white cockroaches are still dangerous in other ways.
Like other roaches, white cockroaches can transmit disease and pathogens in your home.
They can cause salmonella and infections such as staphylococcus and streptococcus.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cockroaches can also cause dysentery, diarrhea, cholera, and typhoid fever.
Cockroaches are also known to cause allergic reactions to humans.
These reactions are especially worrisome for those with asthma.
Research by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation (AAFA) has shown that the enzymes found in excrement, shedding body parts, eggs, and saliva can trigger both allergic reactions and asthma attacks.
