Major Food Allergens
Living with cockroaches is bad enough, but they are also a common source of allergens that can result in mild to severe allergy symptoms. They are a known trigger for acute asthma attacks in urban areas.
What is Cockroach Allergy?
When cockroaches live in a house, they can become a source of allergens. They can cause anything from mild allergy symptoms to severe asthma attacks. Many parts of the cockroaches are allergenic, including their bodies, feces, and saliva. When they die, their bodies break down, adding these allergens to the accumulated household dust.
If cockroaches are present, an individual should be suspicious if allergy symptoms persist year round, instead of going through cycles. This is especially true for asthma symptoms, which is the most common chronic disease for children. A cockroach allergy can be diagnosed by a skin test, and the symptoms can be treated by a doctor.
