What happens if you step on a cockroach barefoot?

If you happen to step on a cockroach barefoot, the cockroach will likely be squished under your foot. The sensation might feel gross or squishy, and there might be some remnants of the cockroach left on your foot. It is important to clean your foot thoroughly to remove any bacteria or germs that might have been on the cockroach’s body. In some cases, the cockroach might release a foul smell when squished. Overall, it’s a pretty unpleasant experience, but not harmful as long as you clean your foot well afterwards.
