About Orchard Grass (Cocksfoot) Allergy Test in Altoona
Understanding orchard grass and its pollen
Orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata) is a cool-season perennial grass widely grown for pasture and hay. It releases lightweight pollen that can travel significant distances during its flowering season.
An allergy to orchard grass is a form of seasonal allergic rhinitis, often presenting with sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy or watery eyes, and throat irritation. Because grass pollens share similar proteins, reactions to orchard grass can occur alongside sensitivities to other grasses.
The test detects specific IgE antibodies directed against orchard grass pollen. A blood sample is analyzed in a laboratory, and results are typically available within one to three business days after the sample is received. Preparation follows the lab's instructions.
