Allergy Golden Rod Enzyme Assay Skin
What is this test?
Goldenrod is a perennial weed often found along roadsides and in open fields. Anecdotal evidence suggests that asthma, allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis are common following exposure to pollen from Goldenrod, particularly in an occupational setting, e.g., that of flower sellers; however, few specific studies have been reported to date. However, whether Goldenrod is a significant cause of hay fever remains debatable and asthma has not been reported. Goldenrod blooms at the same time that ragweed does, but it is insect-pollinated as opposed to wind-pollinated and is not a significant allergen for most individuals,
