Timothy Grass (g6) IgE details
What Timothy Grass (g6) IgE shows
Timothy grass is a widespread pasture and hay grass that releases pollen in late spring and summer, and it is one of the most commonly tested grass allergens. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to timothy grass pollen to check for allergic sensitization. It can help explain hay fever symptoms such as sneezing, itchy eyes and a runny nose, or asthma, during grass pollen season. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, and needs to be compared with your symptoms. Grass pollens cross-react strongly, so a positive timothy result often reflects sensitization to grasses in general.
