The topic of cockroaches taking up residence in the human body may be the stuff of nightmares, but a recent meme about these creepy-crawlies living in the penis went viral and caused quite a stir on the internet.
The meme, which circulated on social media in March 2022, raised the skin-crawling question: “Can cockroaches live in your penis?” The mock-up Google search result seemed to suggest that it was completely normal for five to ten cockroaches to crawl into your penis hole while you’re asleep every year.
Needless to say, this sparked fear and concern among men who came across the meme. But rest assured, there is no evidence of anyone ever having this horrifying experience. It’s more likely that the meme was created to deceive and shock people.
While cockroaches cannot make a home in your penis, these resilient insects have been known to take up residence in other parts of the body.
A doctor recently went viral on TikTok for sharing the story of a man who had a German cockroach living in his ear, causing him sharp pain. The doctor advised against eating in bed, as roaches may be attracted to crumbs and the smell of earwax.
This isn’t the only instance of insects invading human bodies. Recent incidents involving cockroaches getting stuck in people’s ears have left many feeling queasy.
So, while the idea of cockroaches in your penis may be a myth, it’s best to take precautions to avoid these unwanted guests in any part of your body.
