Cultivated Oat Grass
Cultivated oat grass (Avena sativa) is a common cereal crop grown widely across temperate regions. In addition to its use in agriculture, it is a known airborne allergen. During its pollination season, oat grass releases pollen that can become airborne and inhaled, potentially triggering allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Reactions may include symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, and respiratory irritation. It is one of many grasses whose pollen can contribute to seasonal allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever.
Description
Yes, many grass pollens share similar proteins, and cross-reactivity is common among species like timothy grass, ryegrass, and cultivated oat grass. This can make it difficult to identify the exact source of symptoms without specific testing.
Oat grass typically pollinates in late spring to early summer, but this can vary depending on climate and region.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
