Ah-ha!         The age-old question and now for a special public service announcement.

啊哈！老生常談的問題，現在是一則特別的公益廣告。

Let me answer, what happens if a cockroach bites you?

我來回答，如果蟑螂咬了你會怎麼樣？

Okay, we know, just hearing the word cockroach is enough to make your skin crawl.

好吧，我們知道，光是聽到蟑螂這個詞就足以讓你毛骨悚然了。

They are gross, they move fast and they are like the horror movie villains of the bug world.

它們很噁心，行動迅速，就像蟲子世界裡的恐怖電影惡棍。

But, did you know they can actually bite?

但是，你知道它們真的會咬人嗎？

Yeah, seriously, it's not super common but it does happen, especially in places where there are tons of them hanging around.

是的，說真的，這種情況並不常見，但確實會發生，尤其是在有成千上萬這種動物出沒的地方。

Luckily, only a few types are known to go there, mainly the German, American and Oriental cockroaches.

幸運的是，已知只有幾種蟑螂會去那裡，主要是德國蟑螂、美洲大蠊和東方蟑螂。

These are the types that like to live close to people, especially where there's leftover food or trash lying around.

它們喜歡住在靠近人的地方，尤其是周圍有剩飯剩菜或垃圾的地方。

If there's a full-blown infestation and not enough food, they might use their mandibles to nibble on your body parts, like fingernails, hands or even your face while you're sleeping.  Now, before you panic, know that cockroach bites aren't super dangerous.

如果蟑螂全面出沒，又沒有足夠的食物，它們可能會在你睡覺時用下顎啃咬你的身體部位，比如指甲、手甚至臉。  現在，在你驚慌失措之前，要知道被蟑螂叮咬並不是超級危險的事情。

But since roaches carry all kinds of germs, any break in the skin could get infected if you're not careful.

但由於蟑螂攜帶各種病菌，如果不小心，皮膚上的任何破損都可能會感染。

That's why it's important to know what a bite looks like and how to deal with it.

是以，瞭解咬傷的外觀和處理方法非常重要。

So, what does a cockroach bite feel like?

You'll probably notice a big red bump bigger than a mosquito bite.

你可能會發現一個比蚊子叮咬還大的紅色凸起。

It can be itchy, swollen and kind of painful.

它可能會發癢、腫脹並伴有疼痛。

Some people even get allergic reactions that cause more serious swelling or rashes.

有些人甚至會出現過敏反應，導致更嚴重的腫脹或皮疹。

In rare cases, it could be hard to breathe.

在極少數情況下，可能會呼吸困難。

But that's usually only if someone's already really sensitive.

但通常只有在某人已經非常敏感的情況下才會這樣。

But the good news is, cockroach bites can be treated pretty easily at home.

但好消息是，被蟑螂咬傷後可以在家裡輕鬆治療。

All you have to do is wash the area with warm water and soap.

您只需用溫水和肥皂清洗患處即可。

Then slap on some antiseptic cream and maybe a cold pack to calm things down.

然後塗抹一些消毒藥膏，或許再敷上一個冷敷袋來鎮靜一下。

If it's super itchy, an anti-itch cream can help too.

如果癢得厲害，止癢霜也會有幫助。

But remember, no matter what, just don't scratch it.

但請記住，無論如何，都不要刮傷它。

I know it's tempting, but scratching can make things worse and even lead to infection.

我知道這很誘人，但搔抓會使情況變得更糟，甚至導致感染。

So, if it starts to look extra puffy, filled with pus or really painful, that's your cue to see a doctor.

是以，如果它看起來特別腫脹、充滿膿液或非常疼痛，這就是看醫生的信號。

Now the vital question is, how to avoid all this tension?

現在的關鍵問題是，如何避免所有這些緊張局勢？

Well, keep those roaches out in the first place.

That means cleaning up crumbs, taking out the trash regularly, fixing any leaks as roaches love moisture and sealing cracks around your house.

這意味著要清理碎屑、定期倒垃圾、修補漏水處（因為蟑螂喜歡潮溼）以及密封房屋周圍的裂縫。

If things get out of control, it might be time to call in pest control to show those creepy critters the door.

如果情況失控，可能就需要請害蟲防治人員來把這些令人毛骨悚然的小動物趕走了。

Cockroach bites are real, but with a little info and some smart clean-up habits, you'll be way ahead of the game.

蟑螂的叮咬是真實存在的，但只要掌握一點資訊，養成一些聰明的清理習慣，你就能在遊戲中遙遙領先。

Did you know a cockroach can live for a week without its head?

你知道蟑螂沒有頭也能活一個星期嗎？

Also, these bugs can hold their breath for 40 minutes.

此外，這些蟲子還能憋氣 40 分鐘。

Hope you learnt something grossly new today.

希望你今天能學到一些全新的東西。

Until next time, it's me, Dr. Binox, Zooming out!

下次再見，是我，Binox博士，Zooming out！

Forget it, it's just one harmless little bug.

算了吧，這只是一隻無害的小蟲子。
