Rough marsh elder is a weed related to ragweed that grows in fields, roadsides and disturbed ground, mainly in the central and western US. It releases pollen in late summer and autumn, overlapping with the ragweed season. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to rough marsh elder pollen in your blood to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain late-season hay fever symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose and itchy eyes. Because it is related to ragweed, results may overlap. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, and is typically read with other weed allergens and your symptoms.
