We love famous mice. Jerry Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, the mice from Cinderella––the list goes on and on. But something about a real-life, disease-carrying house mouse really gets under our skin, and for good reason!

Roaches are feared by many—not because they sting or bite, but because they’re just plain gross.

It’s safe to say that cockroaches are one of the most hated insects on the planet. Even though they aren’t poisonous and don’t pose a threat in most cases, many people have a genuine fear of cockroaches. The official name for the roach phobia is katsaridaphobia.
