today we are talking about cockroaches
disgusted laugh. Gross!
wait wait.
why are people grossed out by these guys
when we should be thanking these critters
at least people in China are. There are
over 100 buildings in China raising
roaches. Why you ask? because people are
making money from selling them.
I know what you are thinking. Who would
want to buy 1,000 cockroaches? I do!
people are just buying them to turn into
pets or cyber roaches. They are buying
them to make medical powder! This is how
it works. Farmers boil them, dry them and
smash them into a powdered product.
You can't blame them. Surprisingly,
researchers are looking into whether
chemicals in cockroach powder can help
cure hair loss, cancer, and even HIV.
Cockroaches are amazing!
So, it's no wonder why humans want some
of that mojo. Did you know cockroaches can
hold their breathe for up to 30 minutes.
Run up to 3mph and live over a week
without their head! They like beer and
originated more than 250 million years
ago! If you need a reference hit up my boy
Wang. He currently has a farm with over
10 million roaches, wow!
Blows my mind, it does.
