The internet is filled with challenges that pop up every second of the day. Just when we think we've seen them all, there is a new (and gross) challenge that involves taking a selfie with cockroaches.

Facebook user Alex Aung from Myanmar reportedly started the challenge. Aung posted pictures with a cockroach on his face and asked others if they could do something similar.
