The June (Kentucky Blue) Grass Allergy Test is a blood test that checks for an allergic response to June grass, also known as Kentucky bluegrass. It is ordered when a person has seasonal allergy symptoms—such as sneezing, itchy eyes, or a runny nose—and a doctor wants to confirm whether grass pollen is the trigger.

What it measures

  • Specific IgE to June/Kentucky Blue Grass — The main marker; it measures antibodies your immune system makes against this grass pollen.
  • Total IgE — Sometimes included to show your overall allergy antibody level, though it cannot pinpoint a specific trigger.
  • Other grass pollens (e.g., Timothy, Bermuda) — May be tested together to see if you react to more than one type of grass.

Who it is for

A primary care doctor or allergist typically orders this test for people with ongoing or seasonal allergy symptoms that may worsen during grass pollen season.

Preparation

No fasting or special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally before the blood draw.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as a number or class (such as negative, low, or high) for each allergen tested. A clinician interprets these results alongside your symptoms and history; a positive test alone does not mean you have an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.

Typical turnaround is 1–3 business days after the sample reaches the lab.

What does a positive result mean?

It means your blood has antibodies that react to June grass. Your doctor will use this with your symptoms to decide if you have an allergy.

Can this test tell me if I outgrew my allergy?

It can show changes over time, but only a doctor can interpret whether your allergy has lessened or resolved.
