Lamb's Quarters
Lamb's quarters (Chenopodium album) is a common wild plant found in many temperate regions across the world. While it’s sometimes consumed as a leafy green in foraging and traditional cuisines, it is also a known source of airborne allergens. The plant produces fine, powdery pollen during the summer, which can become airborne and cause allergic reactions such as hay fever, nasal congestion, and asthma symptoms in sensitive individuals. Due to its wide distribution and allergenic potential, lamb's quarters is often included in inhalant allergy panels.

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.
