Brome grass is a common pasture and meadow grass whose lightweight pollen travels easily through the air during its flowering season. For people with a sensitivity to grass pollens, exposure can set off sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy or watery eyes, and sometimes coughing or wheezing. An allergy blood test measures the immune system's response to brome grass specifically, helping to distinguish it from other grass and weed pollens that can cause similar symptoms.

About Brome Grass Allergy Test | Grass Pollen in Lewiston

What the Brome Grass Allergy Test measures

The test detects IgE antibodies directed against brome grass pollen in a blood sample. IgE is the class of antibody the immune system produces when it treats a normally harmless substance, such as grass pollen, as a threat.

Results are reported as a numerical level for brome grass-specific IgE. A detectable level indicates sensitization to brome grass pollen; whether that sensitization produces symptoms depends on the person and on how much exposure occurs.

Because grasses share many allergenic proteins, a reaction to brome grass often overlaps with sensitivity to timothy, orchard, rye, and other grasses. The specific result for brome grass can help clarify which pollen sources are most relevant to a person's symptoms.
