Kakerlakenbefall im Zusammenhang mit dem Allergen- und Endotoxinspiegel im Haushalt: Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die Beseitigung des Kakerlakenbefalls durch eine deutliche Reduzierung von Allergenen und Endotoxinen zur Verbesserung der Raumklimagesundheit beitragen könnte.

Honestly, just another reason to keep your place clean.
Does this mean I have to throw away ALL my old pizza boxes? Or can I keep a few for load bearing purposes?
Is this what science is now? All living things shed and poop. When you have thousands of them in your home, yeah, you’re probably going to have a reaction to all of that detritus wafting through the stale air that circulates in your environment…

> Large amounts of endotoxin are excreted by female (2900 endotoxin units [EU]/mg feces) and male (1400 EU/mg) cockroaches. At baseline, household dust and HVAC filters in infested homes had significantly higher levels of allergen (Bla g 2) and endotoxin than uninfested homes. Environmental intervention resulted in significant declines in cockroaches as well as allergen and endotoxin levels. In contrast, cockroach numbers and allergen and endotoxin concentrations remained high in infested-control homes.
