Bugs and living conditions. I’ve worked in pest control and well off people having a German roach issue is nearly non existent.

Fixing mold, bug, rodent, ventilation, nutrition and temp. issues is way easier when you have money to throw at it

Yup. Their feces can cause it. Especially German roach feces

They can trigger it, absolutely. I found out I have exercise induced asthma, had asthma as a baby, and coincidentally had a hard time falling asleep in a roach infested hotel one time. Didn't realize that connection, but I do remember my sinuses and throat being swollen, like I was having allergies.

When my daughter had her allergy test, they tested her for a roach allergy. So an allergic reaction to them must be possible.
