# Kochia

> This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to pollen from the Kochia plant, often called burning bush. It helps show whether your immune system identifies this weed pollen as a threat, which explains symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, or congestion. By pinpointing this specific trigger, the test helps distinguish a Kochia allergy from reactions to other seasonal plants. However, a positive result indicates sensitization and does not confirm a diagnosis or predict the severity of a reaction on its own.
