flag Cockroach infestations raise allergens and endotoxins, worsening children's asthma, researchers say.

flag A new study links cockroach infestations to higher levels of allergens and endotoxins in homes, worsening asthma, especially in children. flag Researchers found significantly elevated allergen and endotoxin levels in infested homes, particularly in kitchens, with female cockroaches producing more endotoxins. flag Extermination reduced levels, but untreated infestations maintained high exposure risks. flag The findings emphasize that complete cockroach removal is key to improving indoor air quality and respiratory health, especially in older and urban housing.
