Sneezing and Runny Nose
Exposure to cockroach allergens can cause repeated sneezing and a runny or stuffy nose. This happens as the allergen irritates the mucus membranes of the nose and throat.
Skin Rash
Some people may develop a skin rash after exposure to cockroach allergens. The skin area may appear red, swollen, and can be itchy as the body's immune system response to the allergen.
Eyes Irritation
Eye irritation is a common symptom of a cockroach allergy. This can result in red, itchy, or watery eyes, that can feel gritty as if something is stuck in them, a condition known as allergic conjunctivitis.
Cough and Chest tightness
People with cockroach allergies may experience a dry or chronic cough and chest tightness, a common symptom in those with allergic asthma which can get triggered by cockroach exposure.
Shortness of Breath
Exposure to cockroach allergens can lead to difficulty breathing, including shortness of breath. This often goes hand in hand with symptoms like coughing and chest tightness as part of an allergic asthma reaction.
Worsening of Asthma
For people with existing asthma, exposure to cockroach allergens can worsen their symptoms, including increased frequency of asthma flare-ups. This is due to the allergen triggering an immune response that inflames the airways, making it more difficult to breathe.
