Timothy grass and ryegrass sensitisation
Timothy grass is commonly used in component-resolved testing pathways and can help define sensitisation patterns in seasonal rhinitis cases. Ryegrass may also contribute to symptom burden in grass-pollen season.
Laboratory findings should be interpreted with your symptom pattern, local pollen exposure, and clinical history by your GP or specialist.
June-August London peak
In London, grass pollen burden often peaks from June to August. Daily variation depends on weather, humidity, wind, and local grass distribution.
