Seasonal allergies, also known as allergic rhinitis or hay fever, occur when your immune system overreacts to outdoor allergens. Common triggers include pollen from trees, grasses like June Grass (Kentucky Blue), and weeds. The Allergy Evaluation 6, South Central is the most important test for diagnosis because it identifies specific IgE antibodies to regional allergens.

Seasonal allergies are caused by your immune system overreacting to outdoor allergens like pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds. When these pollen particles enter your nose or lungs, your body mistakenly identifies them as harmful invaders and produces IgE antibodies to fight them. This immune response triggers the release of histamine and other chemicals, leading to allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. Different plants release pollen at different times of year, which is why symptoms often occur seasonally.
The Allergy Evaluation 6, South Central is the most important test for seasonal allergies because it measures specific IgE antibodies to common regional allergens including June Grass (Kentucky Blue), a frequent seasonal trigger. This blood test identifies exactly which pollens and outdoor allergens are causing your symptoms, rather than just guessing based on the time of year. The test measures your immune system's response to each allergen, with higher IgE levels indicating stronger sensitivities. Knowing your specific triggers allows you to take targeted precautions, time medications appropriately, and avoid exposure when pollen counts are highest for your particular allergens.
You should get tested if you experience sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, or nasal congestion that returns every spring, summer, or fall. Testing is especially helpful if over-the-counter allergy medications are not providing adequate relief, if you want to know your specific triggers before starting immunotherapy (allergy shots), or if you are unsure whether your symptoms are from allergies or another condition like a sinus infection. You can get tested any time of year, even when you are not currently experiencing symptoms, since the test measures antibodies in your blood rather than active allergic reactions.
