The Common Fall Allergies panel is an IgE blood test that screens for 13 weed pollen allergens that tend to peak in the fall months, after many trees and grasses have finished pollinating. It measures allergen-specific IgE antibodies against weeds such as ragweed, sagebrush, and plantain from a single blood sample. A healthcare provider may order it when someone has late-season sneezing, congestion, or itchy eyes and wants to know which weed pollens may be involved. Results are a screening tool and are read alongside symptom history.

• Common ragweed-specific IgE Antibodies against common ragweed pollen; a frequent trigger of fall allergy symptoms.
• Sagebrush-specific IgE Antibodies against sagebrush pollen; a common weed allergen in drier regions.
• Mugwort-specific IgE Antibodies against mugwort pollen; a weed pollen linked to late-season symptoms.
• Pigweed-specific IgE Antibodies against pigweed pollen; a weed allergen included in fall panels.
• English plantain-specific IgE Antibodies against English plantain pollen; assessed for fall weed sensitization.
• Russian thistle-specific IgE Antibodies against Russian thistle pollen; a tumbleweed allergen common in dry areas.

• People with sneezing, congestion, or itchy eyes that flare in the fall
• Individuals who notice symptoms after time outdoors in late summer or autumn
• Those who suspect weed pollen rather than tree or grass pollen
• People with asthma or eczema that worsens in the fall
• Anyone whose provider wants a focused weed pollen panel

• No fasting is required for this IgE allergy panel
• The sample can be collected at any time of day
• Tell the healthcare provider about all medications you take
• Staying well hydrated can make the blood draw easier

Each weed pollen is reported with its own IgE level or class. A value above the reporting threshold may indicate sensitization to that pollen, but sensitization does not always cause symptoms. Low or undetectable levels make allergy to that specific weed pollen less likely without ruling it out entirely. Because many weeds share similar proteins, a provider may consider cross-reactivity. Discuss results with a healthcare provider before changing your routine.
