The Bermuda grass allergy test is used to detect the presence of a Bermuda grass allergy. One of the most commonly found variant grass allergies, the Bermuda grass allergy, is triggered as a response to airborne Bermuda grass pollen.

The above allergy is pretty common owing of the abundance of airborne pollen in our immediate environment. In fact, Bermuda grass makes up for a massive chunk of airborne pollen during pollination season.

Furthermore, Bermuda grass is found mainly in tropical and subtropical regions. So if you live in a place that matches this description, it would be wise to get a Bermuda grass allergy test done. To help you understand the allergy better, here are some symptoms you should look out for when exposed to Bermuda grass pollen:

  • Itchy eyes 
  • Scratchy throat 
  • Allergic rashes 
  • Runny nose
  • Congestion
  • Coughing 
  • Sneezing 
  • Itchy eyes

This allergic reaction can also be triggered by food items that contain proteins similar to the ones found in Bermuda grass. Therefore, make it a point to stay away from the list of following food items:

  • Citrus
  • Melons
  • Bananas
  • Peanuts
  • Tomatoes
  • Persimmons
  • Hazelnuts
  • Zucchini
  • Watermelon

If you notice any of the symptoms mentioned above occurring repeatedly, get the Bermuda grass allergy test done now. Apollo 24/7’s Bermuda grass allergy test cost is affordable, and you will receive the results within five days.

A positive result on this test clearly will imply that that you are allergic to Bermuda grass. Here are some pro tips to help you deal with your allergy and symptoms better:

Take a look at the pollen count before you step out: Make it a practice to check the pollen count online before you step out of your home. This will give you an idea of the pollen count in the surrounding environment. If you absolutely have to step out on a day with a high pollen count, make sure you have an N95 mask handy.

Mow your lawn regularly: Mow your grass regularly to keep it short. This is because short grass doesn’t release a lot of pollen.

Make sure you wear sunglasses, a hat, and a mask: Your nose and your mouth aren’t the only thing you want to protect from pollen. Along with an N95 mask, make sure you carry around a hat and sunglasses to protect your eyes from stray pollen as well.

Shower regularly: Make sure you shower every time you come home. This will wash off all the pollen you brought home with you.

Run the Air conditioning and keep the windows closed: If you have a Bermuda grass allergy, try to keep the windows closed as much as possible. While you are at it, you can run an AC with a fitted HEPA filter for pollen-free air. This might increase your electricity bill by a bit, but it will also maintain a pollen-free environment at home.
