- Runny nose
- Skin irritation, hives, or rash

If you’re dealing with one or more of these symptoms, especially during the warmer months when grass pollen is high, it might be time to test for a grass allergy.
What is a grass allergy?
A grass allergy occurs when your immune system overreacts to proteins in grass pollen or direct contact with grass. For some, this triggers hay fever symptoms, while others may experience skin reactions after touching grass.
Why can grass allergies be a problem?
Grass allergies can make outdoor activities, gardening, or even walking through parks uncomfortable or unbearable. Additionally, high pollen counts in spring and summer can worsen symptoms, significantly affecting your quality of life.
