# Reed, Common

> This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to pollen from Common Reed, a tall grass often found in wetlands. It helps show whether your immune system treats this pollen as a harmful invader, which is useful for investigating the cause of persistent sneezing, runny nose, or itchy eyes. This information helps doctors determine if Common Reed is a specific trigger for your seasonal allergies compared to other plants. However, a positive result alone does not predict exactly how severe your symptoms will be or confirm a diagnosis without a review of your medical history.
