                    [Summary] => Cockroaches are responsible for the rising rate of asthma in schoolchildren. This was revealed by University of Chicago researchers who said the dust in city schools contains high levels of cockroach allergen that could trigger asthma attacks in 60 to 80 percent of children.


While cockroaches have long been known to trigger asthma in sensitive individuals, their effects on schoolchildren were only recently discovered.


"Little is known about the school environment as a potential source of cockroach allergen exposure," the researchers said.
