Basic First Aid

When the lights go out and everyone is going to bed, those little crawling creatures like to come out in the night. Whether there is food on the counter or toys on the floor, these nasty creatures like to crawl over everything to explore for food. They are cockroaches and we have all seen them.

Cockroaches are a huge nuisance to anyone and are so despicable. Just the thought of those things running loose where you lay or sit is a horrible thought. But, the fact is there are people with allergies and can have a reaction from one of the cockroaches crawling over him or her. Some of the reactions can be asthma, continual sinus and ear infections.

An alarming fact is that cockroaches can actually slip into the ear of a child or an adult while asleep or lying in infested area. Although, the wax in the ears is comparable to a pesticide and will kill it, this is still something that needs to be avoided due to the allergens they stimulate.
