also known as Wild rye grass IgE Ab in Serum by Radioallergosorbent test (RAST)
This IgE blood allergy test will determine if you are allergic to Wild Rye Grass (Elymus tricoides) pollen. Wild Rye is a grass species that produces pollen, which often induces hay fever, asthma and conjunctivitis in individuals with an allergy to it. This grass is native to and widespread in western North America, from Washington State to California, and east to Montana. It often forms large clumps in the wild, but is also grown for forage and ground cover, especially for erosion control in low- and medium-elevation saline and alkali areas. Individuals may be unexpectedly exposed to wild rye grass in instances where the leaves are used for making mats, rope, paper, baskets, etc. 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. If you are allergic to the substance, you are forced to suffer through your body's reaction to the allergen.
