Cockroaches and Asthma – What You Need to Know
No one likes having pests in their Noosa home. No one wants to be bitten, or to find faeces in unexpected places. But some pests are worse than others. They’re not just unhygienic and unwelcome, but they can pose a genuine and immediate health-problem. And one of those pests is cockroaches.
For most of us, roaches are just ugly things that steal our food and contaminate our kitchens. However, recent research has shown that these apparently indestructible little suckers can make us really sick. How? Not only do they spread E. coli, but they’re being increasingly linked to Asthma.
So, what’s the deal? Most people know about the dust mite allergies. If you start sneezing in a dusty room or breaking out in hives, it’s not the bits of fluff and crud that are getting to you, but rather the faeces of the dust mites that live among them. Well, that’s pretty much the story with roaches. Cockroach excrement, saliva and shed body bits can all trigger an allergic reaction. They break into particles which are just the right size to be moved around by the air, meaning that we can easily inhale them. For those with bronchial problems, this can lead to an asthma attack. In fact, a recent study showed that in inner-city areas cockroach allergies were among the greatest causes of asthma in children. They were an even bigger problem than dust mites and cats. Pest Control Noosa will rid your Noosa home of cockroaches.
