About Barley Grass Allergy Test | Grass Pollen in Lansing
Barley grass is a common cereal grass whose pollen can provoke seasonal allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Barley grass belongs to the grass family Poaceae, the same broad group that includes wheat, rye, and many lawn and pasture grasses. Its pollen is lightweight and travels through the air during its flowering period, which is why it can be inhaled and recognized by the immune system as an allergen.
When a person is sensitized to barley grass pollen, the immune system produces specific IgE antibodies against proteins in the pollen. These antibodies bind to cells in the respiratory tract and, on later exposure, prompt the release of histamine and other mediators that cause symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, watery eyes, and itching.
A blood test for barley grass IgE quantifies the amount of these antibodies in a sample. The result is reported as a numeric value that, together with a clinician's assessment of symptoms and history, can help determine whether barley grass is contributing to allergic complaints.
