Confidentiality is built in — orders are private and results are accessed securely. Because individual sites vary, double-check the lab's own guidance on preparation, timing, and cost.
What it measures
- Specific IgE to sweet vernal grass — The main marker; shows whether your immune system makes antibodies to this pollen.
- Total IgE — Sometimes measured to give a general sense of allergic activity.
- Other grass pollens — May be checked together to see if related grasses also trigger symptoms.
- Cross-reactive markers — Can help explain reactions to similar pollens or some foods.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. Tell your clinician about antihistamines or other medicines you take, since some can affect allergy testing.
