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