Weed and Grass Allergy Panel

The Weed and Grass Respiratory Allergy Test Panel measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies produced in the blood in response to specific weed and grass allergens. This panel measures immune responses to Russian thistle, giant ragweed, nettle, rough marsh elder, sheep sorrel weed, mugwort, common ragweed, bermuda grass, rough pigweed, Timothy grass, Johnson grass, perennial rye grass, and bahia grass.

With this allergy test, a blood sample is drawn and checked for the levels of antibodies your immune system produces in response to common allergens. It’s a quick, convenient way to test for multiple allergens at one time. There’s no need to stop any allergy medications you may currently be taking and because this is only a blood draw, there is no exposure to an allergen and therefore no risk of severe allergic reactions, which is not the case with skin testing.

No doctor’s visit needed

This panel measures the levels of IgE antibodies in your blood made by your immune system in response to the following allergens:

Russian thistle
Giant ragweed
Nettle
Rough marsh elder
Sheep sorrel weed
Mugwort
Common ragweed
Bermuda grass
Rough pigweed
Timothy grass
Johnson grass
Perennial rye grass
Bahia grass
IgE antibodies are normally found in small amounts in the blood, but larger amounts can be a sign that the body overreacts to allergens. This overreaction can cause your body to produce histamine and trigger an allergic reaction.
