Meadow Foxtail (g16) IgE details
What Meadow Foxtail (g16) IgE shows
Meadow foxtail is an early-flowering pasture grass found in temperate regions. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to meadow foxtail pollen to check for allergic sensitization to this grass. A positive result can help explain sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes or asthma symptoms that flare during its spring and early summer pollen season. Because it flowers early, it may contribute to symptoms at the start of grass season, and it cross-reacts with other temperate grasses. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read against when and where your symptoms occur, usually as part of a regional allergen panel.
