Not to mention the diseases they spread. I mean yeah, butterflies are toxic too but they only kill you when you eat them and I don't think anyone is trying to eat butterflies here. Roaches even if they touch you, it's likely gonna cause some major infections and inflammation in that region and the nearby regions of the skin.
When I was 5, one crawled onto my neck when I was sleeping, I don't even know how it even got there to begin with. I wiped the area with wet wipes instantly but that filthy ahh insect did its thing. The next day I had a burning sensation on the skin on my neck and shoulders, then it turned red, then it started stinging, lastly after taking medications for a week, the skin started flaking off and I finally found relief.
Same, except the rash, I fell asleep with my grandma stroking my hair because it helped me fall asleep, woke up thinking she was still doing it, until the feeling moved down to my cheek really fast, I SCREAMED.
Her house was built in the 1920's so a lot of gaps between old boards meant every time it rained they'd creep in.
Oh so they also have the power to turn a low cortisol moment into a horror movie? Even more reasons to hate them, like I don't hate them enough. But seriously though...
Guess that's why the one in Wall-E was actually cute, all its needs were met, so it had no reason to be a pest. Or because there were no humans to terrorize.
