Orchard grass, also called cocksfoot, is a common perennial grass whose pollen can trigger seasonal allergic symptoms. This blood test measures IgE antibodies specific to orchard grass to help identify sensitization.

About Orchard Grass (Cocksfoot) Allergy Test in Garner

Orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata) is a cool-season perennial grass widely used in pastures and hay. Its light pollen is released in large amounts during its flowering season and can travel significant distances in the air.

Allergic reactions occur when the immune system identifies a normally harmless substance, such as grass pollen, as a threat. In sensitized individuals, the body produces immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies that bind to specific proteins in the pollen. Subsequent exposure can prompt the release of histamine and other mediators, leading to symptoms.

Orchard grass pollen is a recognized aeroallergen. People with grass pollen allergy may experience sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy or watery eyes, and throat irritation. In some cases, pollen exposure can aggravate asthma symptoms. Because many grasses share similar allergenic proteins, reactions to orchard grass can sometimes overlap with sensitivity to other grass species.

This test detects IgE antibodies directed against orchard grass pollen in a blood sample. Results are typically reported as a quantitative value or class, which a healthcare professional can interpret alongside clinical history and other findings. Elevated specific IgE indicates sensitization to orchard grass, though it does not by itself confirm that symptoms are caused by this allergen.
