Kentucky Bluegrass G8

If you are experiencing seasonal symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose, or itchy eyes, you may be allergic to Kentucky bluegrass pollen. At IntroLab Laboratory in Belgrade, we offer a precise Kentucky Bluegrass G8 analysis for diagnosing this and other allergies. Based on the testing, you can receive expert advice for effectively managing symptoms and selecting the appropriate treatment.

What is Kentucky Bluegrass G8?

Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), also known as meadow grass, is common in gardens, meadows, and sports fields. The pollen from this grass is known to be a potential allergen, especially during the spring and summer months.

How do allergies occur?

Allergies to Kentucky bluegrass occur when the immune system mistakenly identifies the pollen from this grass as a threat. In response, the body produces antibodies known as immunoglobulin E (IgE). These antibodies then trigger the release of substances like histamine, which are responsible for allergy symptoms.

When is the analysis done?

The Kentucky Bluegrass G8 allergy test may be recommended if you experience symptoms such as:

• Sneezing
• Runny nose
• Itchy eyes
• Breathing problems or skin rashes during the spring and summer

This test is especially useful if you have a known history of allergies to other pollens or allergens. A doctor may recommend this analysis based on your symptoms and overall clinical picture.
