What foods cross-react with cockroach allergy?

Cockroach allergy does not typically involve cross-reactivity with food allergies. However, individuals with cockroach allergies might also be allergic to other indoor allergens like dust mites or pet dander.

When should I consider getting a cockroach allergy test?
  • If you experience persistent respiratory or skin allergy symptoms, especially in urban living environments.
  • If there is an exacerbation of asthma symptoms without a clear trigger.
  • If over-the-counter allergy medications do not alleviate your symptoms.
  • If you live in an area or conditions where cockroach exposure is likely.
How do I reduce my cockroach allergy symptoms?
  • Keep your living spaces clean and free of food scraps and clutter where cockroaches can hide.
  • Seal cracks and entry points to prevent cockroach infestation.
  • Use pest control measures if necessary to reduce cockroach population.
  • Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to clean floors and furniture.
  • Reduce indoor humidity levels, as cockroaches thrive in moist environments.
  • Use allergen-proof covers on mattresses and pillows to reduce exposure.
  • Over-the-counter antihistamines or decongestants may help manage symptoms.
  • Consult with an allergist for tailored treatment, especially if symptoms are severe or persistent.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the USA. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
