Bahia grass (scientific name: Paspalum notatum) is a prominent aeroallergen. It can potentially cause asthma, allergic conjunctivitis and allergic rhinitis. Studies have shown a link between Bahia grass and childhood asthma. Therefore, getting a Bahia grass allergy test for everyone, especially children with asthma, is vital.

There are various symptoms of Bahia grass allergy that an individual may experience. They may include some of the ones listed below:

  • Runny nose
  • Coughing
  • Congestion
  • Sneezing
  • Scratchy throat
  • Itchy eyes
  • Swollen face and eyes
  • Watery eye

One may also experience highly aggravated symptoms if they have asthma or other underlying respiratory problems. Further, if an individual is already allergic to other grasses or pollen, there are chances that they may have an allergic reaction to Bahia grass.

The allergy season for Bahia grass is quite protracted, making it especially difficult for those with a Bahia grass allergy. The season generally begins in May and might go until October if circumstances are suitable.

Moreover, the season typically peaks in June or July, although owing to its growing regions’ warm and damp conditions. Pollen counts can be high at any time during the allergy season. Thus, everybody with a Bahia grass allergy should make specific lifestyle changes.

Limiting overall exposure to the allergens that trigger Bahia grass allergy is the only way to help reduce the severity of allergy symptoms. Since pollen is always in the air, this can be rather difficult to follow through.

Nonetheless, some of these approaches may be beneficial in providing you with some relief from your Bahia grass allergy:

  • Reduce your exposure.
  • Take note of the pollen count.
  • Use medication.
  • Avoid bringing in things that have been outside.
  • Mow the lawn regularly.
  • Clean the home often.
  • Do laundry regularly.
  • Wipe off pets.
  • Avoid peaches, fresh celery, melons, oranges, and tomatoes.

Nevertheless, sometimes even lifestyle changes can be ineffective and continue to produce allergic reactions to Bahia grass.

In such a case, your healthcare will likely offer you one of the many different medications available after taking the Bahia grass allergy test. Apollo 24|7 offers the Bahia grass allergy test on their website, where you can conveniently receive results and start your treatment at the earliest.

OTC allergy medicines are readily available and effective at offering short-term relief for most Bahia grass allergy symptoms. These include:

  • Antihistamines suppress the histamine reaction. This will temporarily alleviate the typical allergy symptoms.
  • Nasal sprays help to relieve nasal congestion and irritation.
  • Eye drops flush pollen from your eyes, providing relief against itchy and watery eyes.

Alternatively, healthcare experts may prescribe medication in case the allergic reactions to Bahia grass persist.
