What this test is

The Common Summer Allergies Test is a panel that measures specific IgE antibodies in your blood. It covers ten allergens often present in summer, such as grass pollens and outdoor molds. Elevated IgE levels can suggest an allergic sensitization to those substances.

What it measures

  • Timothy grass pollen IgE — reflects sensitization to a common grass pollen
  • Bermuda grass pollen IgE — reflects sensitization to a warm-season grass pollen
  • Kentucky bluegrass pollen IgE — reflects sensitization to another common grass pollen
  • Alternaria mold IgE — reflects sensitization to an outdoor mold
  • Cladosporium mold IgE — reflects sensitization to another common outdoor mold
  • Aspergillus mold IgE — reflects sensitization to a mold found in soil and decaying matter
  • Penicillium mold IgE — reflects sensitization to a mold common in indoor and outdoor environments
  • Common ragweed pollen IgE — reflects sensitization to a late-summer weed pollen

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small sample of blood from a vein in your arm using a standard blood draw. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test when you have recurring summer symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, or congestion and want to identify possible triggers. It is often used alongside your symptom history to help guide allergy management.

Preparation

No special preparation is usually required, but follow the collection lab's instructions. They will tell you if any medications or timing considerations apply.

How results are reported

Results are reported as a level of specific IgE for each allergen, often with a qualitative interpretation such as negative, low, or high. Reference ranges and reporting formats vary by laboratory, so your results should be interpreted in the context of the lab's own ranges.

Before you go

  • Whether any medications you take could affect the test results
  • The lab's specific instructions for sample collection and handling
  • How and when you will receive your results
