No one enjoys having a pest in their home. They are gross and smelly but did you know they could also be contributing to your allergies? Household pests have the ability to cause a number of allergies. Allergens released into the air by pests such as cockroaches, dust mites, and rodents can trigger allergic reactions.
Pests can also spread bacteria and other pathogens that can cause allergic reactions in humans. In addition, pests can contaminate food supplies, causing reactions in people who are allergic to the bacteria or other pathogens present in the contaminated food.
Pests can also cause allergies through their bites or stings, as well as by increasing the amount of dust and debris in the home, which can exacerbate allergies in people who are sensitive to dust and other allergens.
All of these reasons highlight just how much damage pests can do. This article will explore five ways that the pests within your home may be causing your allergy flare-ups.
