# Cockroach, American

> This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in the American cockroach. It helps show whether your immune system treats these insects as a harmful trigger, which is often linked to chronic asthma or persistent nasal congestion. This testing helps identify if cockroaches are a likely source of your symptoms rather than other environmental allergens. However, the results alone cannot predict the severity of a future allergic reaction or confirm current exposure in your home.
