What it measures
- Salt grass-specific IgE — An antibody tied to allergic reactions; higher levels can suggest sensitivity to salt grass pollen.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody in the blood, sometimes included for context.
- Other grass-specific IgE — Checks for reactions to related grasses, since allergies often overlap.
- Seasonal allergen panel — May include tree, weed, and mold markers to help narrow down triggers.
Preparation
