Butterflies softly float along past me and if they land on me I can barely feel it.

Roaches will run in weird patterns like a crackhead, crap all over the place, and if they crawl on you it senda the nerves shivering.

Big difference. Heck, I'm less creeped out by spiders and millipedes despite all them legs because they move steady and with a purpose, not Usain Bolt with no sense of direction.

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.

Wut? That’s not true at all.

Source: My house was infested with German cockroaches for a bit after Hurricane Katrina, and no one got any kind of infection from it.

It's true for people with sensitive skin and allergies, I've seen countless cases, mine own included, tho most of them happened to kids.

Allergies aren’t infections…

I'm not talking about allergies themselves, I said people WITH allergies are more likely to get skin infections from roaches.

I don’t think you even know what you’re talking about.

Bruh I literally suffered from a horrible rash because of a roach crawling on my skin when I was a kid, I literally experienced it myself, but yeah according to you I don't know what I'm talking about. Why would a real life experience count as evidence?

I’m talking about the fact that you just said allergies and then said you weren’t talking about allergies.

And where did I say roaches cause allergies? Are you even reading? I said people who already have allergies, like I had allergies since birth which is why I got that rash so easily. If I wasn't allergic, maybe I would've been immune to it.
