    Various write-ups concerning cockroaches tell of commonly experienced reactions, allergic mainly, many people have due to inhaling of the dusts from their "droppings". UGH. When considering insects and the like, seems like I've never really thought about their excrement, which surely must be present.

    I have seen window glass panes covered with hundreds of tiny white spots, those panes having had houseflies meandering about on them; many were littering the floor below. This was on my grandma's back porch, where hardly anyone ever tread, except a small inquisitive kid........

    This was not your normal sized house roach. This one was very very large and what we call down here a water roach.
    It landed on the side of my face...felt a sting then next morning a red bump showed up in that area.

    So, it was able to fly, bite, and was female! I have personally known a few such humans, myself!

    1. A sharp, upward slap to the back of the head given to someone acting blaringly stupid. Originated from Special Agent Gibbs from NCIS who employs this manuver often.
    Now I know. See, one who watches no T-V misses out on all the nonsense! That's me! Had you not coated your comment with sweet "icing", I might have taken slight offense.....

    Your prescience precedes you. My reputation precedes me. Is there a difference?
