Allergy to grass

The grass pollen mix test is a blood-based allergy test. It detects allergic reactions to six different grass pollen allergens:

• meadow foxtail,
• orchard grass,
• perennial ryegrass,
• timothy grass,
• Kentucky bluegrass,
• meadow fescue.

The test measures IgE antibodies in the blood and is used when grass pollen allergy is suspected.

The main advantage of the test is that it does not require discontinuation of antihistamines. Blood-based allergen testing is also used to assess eligibility for grass pollen desensitization therapy. It is particularly recommended for identifying allergens in children under the age of 4.
