Velvet Grass (g13) IgE details
What Velvet Grass (g13) IgE shows
Velvet grass is a soft, hairy grass found in meadows, lawns and roadsides, and it releases pollen from late spring through summer. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to velvet 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 when your symptoms occur. Grass pollens cross-react strongly with each other, so it is usually interpreted alongside other grass results.
