About Timothy Grass (Hay) Allergy Test | Pollen in Hanover Park
Timothy grass is a common perennial grass whose pollen is a frequent trigger of seasonal allergic rhinitis.
Timothy grass (Phleum pratense) is widely grown as a hay and pasture crop, and its light pollen is released in large amounts during its flowering season. Because the pollen grains are small and easily carried by wind, exposure can occur well beyond fields where the grass is cultivated.
For sensitized individuals, inhaled Timothy grass pollen can provoke sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy or watery eyes, and sometimes wheezing. These symptoms reflect an immune response in which IgE antibodies recognize proteins in the pollen and trigger the release of histamine and other mediators.
The blood test detects IgE antibodies that bind specifically to Timothy grass allergen. A measured level above the reporting threshold indicates sensitization; it is interpreted alongside the patient's history and other findings by a qualified healthcare professional.
