What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, a runny nose, or congestion during grass pollen season, especially in spring and summer. It checks whether your immune system reacts to meadow foxtail, a common grass pollen. This can help you understand if this specific grass is a trigger for your allergy symptoms.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with the normal range explained so you know exactly what your number means. If your result comes back positive, simple next steps include tracking your symptoms during grass season, reducing outdoor exposure on high-pollen days, and considering allergen avoidance strategies at home. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time, and if you retest in the future, the trends feature lets you see how your levels change over time.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, a stuffy or runny nose, and throat irritation that tend to flare up during grass pollen season. Some people also notice these symptoms worsen after mowing the lawn or spending time in fields or parks. If symptoms show up at the same time each year, seasonal grass pollen like meadow foxtail could be a trigger worth checking.

How can I naturally support my allergy symptoms?

Simple steps like keeping windows closed during high-pollen days, showering after being outdoors, and using a HEPA air filter indoors can reduce your exposure to grass pollen. Rinsing your sinuses with a saline solution can help clear pollen from your nasal passages. Staying hydrated and eating anti-inflammatory foods like leafy greens and fatty fish may also help your body manage mild allergy symptoms.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being processed at the lab. You'll get a notification as soon as your results are available in your account. This gives you enough time to plan ahead if grass pollen season is approaching.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone with recurring seasonal allergy symptoms, especially those that flare up during grass pollen season in spring and summer. It's also useful if you've noticed symptoms after outdoor activities like gardening, mowing, or walking through fields. People trying to pinpoint exactly which allergen is causing their symptoms may find this test helpful.

What is IgE and why does it matter?

IgE is an antibody your immune system makes when it reacts to something it sees as a threat, like pollen. When your body produces IgE specifically against meadow foxtail pollen, it means your immune system has become sensitized to it. Measuring this IgE level helps show whether this particular grass could be behind your allergy symptoms.

What does a high IgE result mean?

A high result means your immune system is strongly sensitized to meadow foxtail pollen, which makes it more likely this allergen is contributing to your symptoms during grass season. It doesn't automatically mean you'll have severe symptoms, since sensitization and actual allergic reactions don't always match up. Tracking your symptoms alongside this result can help you see how much this allergen really affects you.

What causes a high or low IgE result?

A higher result usually reflects repeated or ongoing exposure to grass pollen that has led your immune system to build up a sensitized response. A low or negative result generally means your body hasn't developed a strong IgE response to this specific grass, so it's less likely to be a driver of your symptoms. Genetics, environment, and how much time you spend outdoors during pollen season can all play a role.

How often should I retest?

If your symptoms change over time or you start noticing new triggers, retesting once every year or two around allergy season can help track how your sensitivities are shifting. There's no need to retest frequently unless your symptoms change significantly or you want to check a new suspected allergen. Using the trends feature in your account makes it easy to compare results from year to year.
