The Common Summer Allergies panel is an IgE blood test that screens for 10 allergens that commonly trigger symptoms in summer, when grass pollens and mold spores tend to be prominent. It measures allergen-specific IgE antibodies against several grasses and molds from a single blood sample. A healthcare provider may order it when someone has summer sneezing, congestion, or itchy eyes and wants to know which summer allergens may be involved. Results are a screening tool, not a diagnosis, and are interpreted with symptom history.

• Timothy grass-specific IgE Antibodies against timothy grass pollen; a common summer grass allergen.
• Bermuda grass-specific IgE Antibodies against Bermuda grass pollen; a warm-season grass marker.
• Bluegrass-specific IgE Antibodies against bluegrass pollen; assessed for summer symptoms.
• Alternaria-specific IgE Antibodies against Alternaria mold spores; a common outdoor mold allergen.
• Cladosporium-specific IgE Antibodies against Cladosporium mold spores; relevant in warm, humid conditions.

• People with sneezing, congestion, or itchy eyes that flare in summer
• Individuals who notice symptoms after time outdoors on grass
• Those who suspect mold rather than pollen as a summer trigger
• People with asthma or eczema that worsens in warm, humid weather
• Anyone whose provider wants a focused summer allergy 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 allergen is reported with its own IgE level or class. A value above the reporting threshold may indicate sensitization, but sensitization does not always produce symptoms. Low or undetectable levels make allergy to that specific grass or mold less likely without ruling it out entirely. Because grass pollens often cross-react with one another, a provider may interpret the grass markers together. Discuss results with a healthcare provider before changing your routine.
