An allergy blood test works by detecting IgE antibodies that bind to a particular allergen. When the immune system has been sensitized to giant ragweed pollen, these antibodies can be measured in a blood sample.
The test result is interpreted alongside a person's history and reported symptoms. A positive result indicates sensitization to giant ragweed, while a negative result makes that sensitivity less likely.
