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.
