# Goldenrod

> This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to pollen from the Goldenrod plant. It helps determine if your immune system treats this plant as a threat, which can cause symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, or a runny nose during late summer and fall. This testing helps distinguish a specific sensitivity to Goldenrod from reactions to other seasonal plants that bloom at the same time, such as ragweed. However, a positive result indicates sensitization but does not predict exactly how severe your allergic reaction will be in the future.
