This is more likely to occur if you are breeding roaches, since it will dramatically increase the intensity of contact. The best way to avoid developing an allergy is to handle your Dubia roaches in a well ventilated room, and wear gloves if possible.Must be for people that handle them a lot.  I can't stand the feel of their feet on me lol (but lateralis don't bother me for some weird reason) i never handle them, always use tongs for feedings.</blockquote>
