The cockroach is an omnivore, that is, it eats everything edible, animal and vegetable. So if we do not move around too much while sleeping they might be inclined to nibble on our earlobes at night. They are rarely aggressive enough to attack us while we are awake. When visiting Tulane University in New Orleans many years ago I slept in a dormitory room and cockroaches were flying down from the ceiling onto my head. I would guess that these large American cockroaches, _Periplaneta americana_, would be capable of taking a good bite out of me. Only the larger species could take a bite through our skin. Of course the skin of children is much more tender and vulnerable to a roach bite.

Roaches don't bite, multiply like crazy, yes, but, they don't bite.
Edit!
FYI, I'm over 50, been around the block a few times. So, who should know if roaches don't bite!

Roaches are not rodents. Roaches are insects.

Actually roaches are very clean, they do not bite people and that means ya can't get sick from them. They mostly just leave people alone. Roaches only live with dirty people, thats why they are assumed to be dirty insects.
