Allergy Bermuda Grass Enzyme Assay Skin
What is this test?
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. Bermuda grass allergy is an adverse reaction by the body's immune system to pollen produced by Bermuda grass. The body's immune system produces immunoglobulin E (IgE - an antibody) and histamine in response to contact with the allergen. The specific symptoms that can result can vary amongst patients. Avoid coming into contact with the allergen, antihistamines, bronchodilators for asthmatic symptoms. Treatment of allergy from air-borne allergens is dependant upon the type and severity of the reaction.
