I had to close the article after seeing the hand holding the cockroach, I'm still disgusted after a couple of minutes.

If you have the same disgust don't open the article or open it with images disabled.

BTW TIL it is called katsaridaphobia.

It's a hissing cockroach, which is relatively clean and sticks to forest habitats and does not carry any human diseases, if that helps.

This particular cockroach is one of the least bothersome species of insect. Nothing to fear.

Thanks for the infos, but it isn't a logical process.

It comes deep from the guts and I cannot control it in any way, it is really a phobia and you should see how I behave when I see one, anyone, IRL.
