Tracy, concerned Mom, San Antonio, Texas
“My son would get sick every year as soon as he started playing baseball in the spring. He would be so miserable that it would affect him at school and on the field. The medications made him drowsy and he hated taking them. Once we found AllergiMed’s drops, within weeks, his allergy symptoms disappeared, he no longer gets strep throat or sinus infections. Thanks AllergiMed!”
People with chronic severe bronchial asthma are most likely to have cockroach allergy. Also likely to have it are people with a chronic stuffy nose, skin rash, constant sinus infection, repeat ear infection and asthma.
Cockroach allergy is a problem among people who live in inner-cities or in the South and are of low socioeconomic status. In one study of inner-city children, 37 percent were allergic to cockroaches, 35 percent to dust mites, and 23 percent to cats. Those who were allergic to cockroaches and were exposed to the insects were hospitalized for asthma 3.3 times more often than other children. This was true even when compared with those who were allergic to dust mites or cats.
Cockroach allergy is more common among poor African Americans. Experts believe that this is not because of racial differences; rather, it is because of the disproportionate number of African Americans living in the inner cities.
