Wyatt says, I'm a little curious about them because I've never seen one IRL.
And I'm like, what planet are you living on that you've never seen a roach in real life?
Who among us hasn't dated a musician with a roach infestation?
You know what I mean?
Who among us?
I guess some people, but what about their cleanliness?
Are they cleaning their antenna all the time?
What are they doing?
Yes, it is true.
And if you don't believe me, you can curl up with the 2023 study, Cockroaches, a potential source of novel bioactive molecules for the benefit of human health, which gushes.
Cockroaches are one of the hardiest insects that have survived on this planet for millions of years, it says.
They continue.
They thrive in unhygienic environments and are able to survive without food for up to 30 days, without air for around 45 minutes, and being submerged underwater for half an hour.
They can endure doses of radiation 15 times greater than humans.
And then the researchers ponder that it is intriguing that cockroaches are able to endure and flourish under conditions that are harmful to Homo sapiens.
We postulate that the cockroach gut microbiome and or its metabolites may be contributing to their hardiness, which should be utilized for the discovery of biologically active molecules for the benefit of human health.
So yeah, doctors are looking to cockroaches.
With stars in their eyes, money in their dreams, thinking cockroaches.
How do they do it?
And where can I get me some of that?
