I react a bit more strongly to roaches than to the others because they seem to be more difficult to get rid of. I don't have a ZOMG reaction to any of them because I've had all of them apart from roaches in houses that I've lived in (plus rats and woodworm), and the Army camp where I used to socialise as a teenager had roaches in the kitchens. All of them were dealt with without causing any serious problems. So I figure all of these things can happen to just about anyone, and with proper vigilance, control measures (for serious cases) and hygiene precautions, are more of an inconvenience than a serious health risk.
