Contact with cocksfoot pollen can cause hay fever, asthma, allergic conjunctivitis or atopic dermatitis. In the United States, 75% of the population is exposed to cocksfoot . Allergic rhinitis is a major risk factor for the development of bronchial asthma.
Of the allergenic components, Dac g 4 is the major protein. Сocksfoot pollen can cross-react with other pollen allergens such as timothy and ryegrass, as well as with wheat.
