Cockroach Disease

What are some common transmitted cockroach diseases and allergies?

Although there isn’t a lot of supporting evidence that shows cockroaches have caused any specific disease outbreaks or pandemics, they can carry deadly bacteria and organisms, and also cause allergies, especially susceptible to these allergies are children according to the EPA (the United States Environmental Protection Agency).

According to the EPA cockroaches commonly carry bacteria that can cause salmonella, streptococcus, and staphylococcus when deposited onto the foods we consume.

According to the WHO (World Health Organization), cockroaches are known to be carriers  of  bacteria and organisms that can cause intestinal diseases, such as:

  • Campylobacteriosis
  • Cholera
  • Dysentery
  • Gastroenteritis
  • Giardia
  • Leprosy
  • Listeriosis
  • Salmonellosis
  • Typhoid Fever
  • E. Coli
  • Staphylococcus
  • Streptococcus

According to the National Library of Medicine, cockroaches worldwide represent one of the most common sources of indoor allergens. Cockroach allergen levels have been associated with allergen sensitivity and asthma, particularly in urban environments, over 50% have clinically relevant levels of cockroach allergens, and as many as 30% of suburban homes also have detectable levels as well.

According to the National Pest Management Association, 63% of homes in the United States contain cockroach allergens. That number rises to 79 to 98% in urban area housing.

Most organizations agree that the proteins derived from cockroach feces, saliva, eggs, and shed cuticles are known to be the leading causes of allergic bronchial diseases, such as asthma.

You may be able to treat mind allergic symptoms with OTC (over-the-counter) medications, such as antihistamines, decongestants, or nasal corticosteroid sprays. But, should you still have issues, it is wise to seek professional medical treatment and prescriptions to help prevent further issues and damage to your health.

More importantly, to rid yourself of these pesky, hard-to-hard-to-kill cockroaches, you should seek professional help, as aerosol DIY pesticides are also known to add, increase, or cause added allergic bronchial disease problems.
