Silverfish are attracted to humidity and moisture so they are commonly found in basements, attics, and bathrooms in homes in

While rare, silverfish can cause allergic reactions to some people.  The allergen associated to silverfish allergies is called tropomyosin. It can be found in foods such as shrimps and shellfish.  Nose inflammation, also known as rhinitis, happens to those who have hypersensitivity to the insect. Children who have other kinds of respiratory allergies are extremely prone to silverfish allergies as well.  The way to avoid these symptoms is to prevent silverfish in the first place. 

A common misconception is that silverfish are poisonous and bite.  The Truth is that silverfish are not known to bite, are not poisonous, and do not carry diseases.  In fact they are afraid of humans, and if they are startled, will run for cover immediately.
