Plantain
Plantain weed is a common allergen found in grassy areas and should not be confused with the banana-like fruit. Its small, inconspicuous flowers release pollen that can trigger seasonal allergy symptoms. Although it does not produce as much pollen as some other weeds, plantain can still cause problems for individuals with specific sensitivities.
Description
Testing for plantain allergy is worth considering if you develop hay fever symptoms when these weeds are flowering, particularly if common treatments don’t provide relief.
- Sneezing
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Nasal congestion
- Sinus pressure
- Throat irritation
A plantain allergy reaction is triggered by the immune system’s response to its pollen. This can lead to inflammation and the symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
Avoiding areas with high plantain concentrations during its blooming period helps. Antihistamines and nasal corticosteroids can also manage symptoms effectively.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
