also known as Barley Pollen IgE Ab in Serum by Radioallergosorbent test (RAST)
This IgE blood allergy test will determine if you are allergic to Barley Grass/Hay and its pollen. Barley is the fourth most important cereal crop in the world after wheat, maize and rice. Barley is a staple food in the developing world, and is used in industrialized countries for animal feed and for specialty food products. Malt is a nutritious sweetener in various foods. It is also grown for distilling malt liquors and spirits, and is one of the primary components of beer. Barley straw is used as bedding and packing material, for making hats and for the manufacture of cellulose pulp. It is a source of fibers for paper making, a source of biomass for fuel, and can be shredded and used as mulch. Traditional allergy tests utilize the Skin Prick method (also known as a Puncture or Scratch test) to determine whether an allergic reaction will occur by inserting possible triggers into your skin using a needle prick.
