cockroach allergens

10 million people in the United States are allergic to cockroaches
60% of individuals with allergies may be allergic to cockroaches
40% of asthma sufferers are also allergic to cockroaches
there are 3500 species of cockroaches

The sight of a cockroach is revolting to most people but the allergens associated with this pest are the cause of allergy and asthma attacks. As with dust mites, we are not allergic to the cockroach itself but with the protein found in the waste product which becomes airborne with other household dust allergens and is inhaled. Cockroaches seek moisture, food, shelter and warmth. The highest levels of allergen are usually found in the kitchen area, but like dust mites the allergen also collects in the mattresses, upholstered furniture and other soft furnishings. Symptoms include chronic severe bronchial asthma, chronic stuffy nose, constant sinus infections, repeat ear infections and skin rash.
