This is a very common symptom that makes your mouth feel itchy or tingly immediately or shortly after eating an apple. Some people also experience a burning sensation.
If you're allergically sensitive to apples, you might notice your lips, tongue, and/or throat swelling after apple consumption. This is a result of your immune system reacting to certain proteins found in apples.
Your digestive system can be affected by apple allergies, leading to symptoms like cramping, bloating, or diarrhea shortly after eating apple or apple-containing products.
Headaches, particularly migraines, can sometimes be triggered following apple consumption in individuals with apple allergies.
You may also experience skin reactions like hives or eczema after consuming or even touching apples if you have an apple allergy.
In very rare and extreme cases, apple allergy can provoke a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis, which is potentially life-threatening. Symptoms can include difficulty breathing, rapid pulse, dizziness, or loss of consciousness.

Understanding Apple Allergy Symptoms
Apple allergies are often characterized by a series of reactions that occur shortly after consumption. Typically, symptoms include:
Observing the Timing of Reactions
Allergy reactions typically occur shortly after eating the food in question—in this case, apples. If you notice that you consistently experience the symptoms above after eating apples, but not at other times, you may have an apple allergy.
Undergoing Allergy Testing
If you suspect you have an apple allergy based on your symptoms and their timing, schedule an appointment with an allergist for a more formal diagnosis. They can conduct skin tests, blood tests, or oral food challenges to confirm whether or not you are allergic to apples.
Trying an Elimination Diet
An elimination diet can be useful in identifying a food allergy. For two to four weeks, remove apples from your diet and monitor whether or not your symptoms improve. If they do, reintroduce apples to your diet under the supervision of your allergist—if the symptoms return, it’s highly likely that you have an apple allergy.
Remember, it's crucial to note that self-diagnosis and attempts to manage a presumed allergy without professional guidance can be risky. Always seek a professional medical opinion if you suspect you are dealing with an allergy.

If you have a mild apple allergy, you may still be able to tolerate apple products such as apple juice, apple sauce, or apple pie because cooking apples can break down the proteins that cause allergic reactions. Always check your reactions with a doctor before attempting to consume cooked apples.
Some apple varieties such as Golden Delicious and Red Delicious tend to have fewer proteins that cause allergic reactions. These low-allergenic varieties can be a good substitute if you want to continue consuming apples without experiencing allergic reactions.
Manufactured apple-flavored products often use artificial flavoring that doesn't contain the allergenic proteins found in real apples. However, always check the ingredients and consult a healthcare professional to make sure these products are safe for you to consume.
If you have a mild apple allergy and accidentally consume apples, taking an over-the-counter antihistamine immediately after exposure may help reduce your allergic symptoms. However, this should only be done under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

In the U.S., the apple growing season typically starts from the late spring through the early fall. However, the exact timing can vary depending on the specific varieties of apple and their associated hardiness zones.
Blossoming and Pollination Period
Fruiting Season
After the fruiting season, the trees enter a dormancy period during winter. In this phase, they are not growing and thus not producing allergens.

It’s a physician-prescribed, custom-compounded formula designed to target all your nasal symptoms at once — congestion, runny nose, post-nasal drip, sneezing, and more.

Formulated by doctors and pharmacologists and backed by clinical research, Quickie combines five powerful ingredients into one easy spray.

Typical prescription may include the following ingredients: Azelastine HCL 0.15%, Mometasone Furoate 0.05%, Oxymetazoline HCL 0.0125%, Ipratroprium 0.06%, Sodium Hyaluronate 0.04%.
Straight to the source. That’s Curex


Quickie is a compounded prescription medication, prepared by a licensed pharmacy. It is not reviewed or approved by the FDA. It is prepared based on your provider’s evaluation of your symptoms and needs. Individual results may vary.

Lauren S.
No longer having to go the doctor's office a few times a week for painful shots.
Tony P.
I have done allergy shots in the past but found it pretty inconvenient to go every week. I really like the ease as compared with physically going to the doctors office.

Robert S.
The treatment is much less expensive than a course of allergy shots at a doctor's office and eliminates numerous trips to the doctor's and all the waiting time.
Janie L.
My seasonal allergies were much less severe than years prior. Most importantly, the convenience of taking drops in my own home is unbeatable.

Most patients feel relief within 15 minutes. We have both short-term relief ingredients as well as longer-term relief to keep you feeling better, longer. Some say it’s like turning off their allergies.
Sneezing runny nose, nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, sinus pressure, itchy nose. Great for outdoor allergies, indoor dust, or when pollen spikes unexpectedly.
No, this formula uses a microdose of oxymetazoline, balanced with anti-inflammatory and moisturizing ingredients to reduce the risk of rebound congestion. Clinical studies over the last decade show that when oxymetazoline is combined with a corticosteroid, it can be used safely over the long term without causing rebound symptoms.
Quickie Spray combines up to five prescription-strength ingredients into a single, personalized formula — targeting multiple symptoms like congestion, post-nasal drip, and inflammation. OTC sprays typically address just one symptom and lack the synergy of a customized blend.
Some ingredients like azelastine may cause a slight taste, but many patients find it milder than traditional OTC sprays. Proper spray technique (head forward, not tilted back) helps minimize drip.We also offer an alternative formulation with olopatadine, which has a gentler taste profile and may be preferred by taste-sensitive patients.
Quickie is designed to replace most other allergy medications. But it is designed to compliment allergy immunotherapy for long-term relief. If you’re currently taking other antihistamines or nasal sprays, tell your Curex provider, so we can adjust your formula to avoid overlap or interactions.
No, Quickie is a personalized compounded prescription prepared by licensed U.S. pharmacies based on your doctor’s evaluation. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as commercial products, but they are regulated under federal and state pharmacy laws.
Possible side effects include nasal dryness, mild irritation, or occasional nosebleeds. These are typically mild and manageable. Let your Curex provider know about any bothersome or serious effects, so we can fine-tune your prescription if needed.
Quickie is safe for daily use, especially during the first 3–6 months of allergy immunotherapy, when symptoms are still active. Your Curex provider may adjust your dose or frequency as your immune system builds tolerance.
Quickie is designed to be non-sedating, so you can use it before work, school, or exercise without feeling groggy or foggy. In rare cases where drowsiness is reported, let your Curex provider know—we can easily adjust the formula to better suit your needs.
Yes, Quickie Spray can be prescribed for children aged 6 and up, based on your provider’s clinical evaluation.
Follow the instructions from your Curex provider.Most patients are advised to use one spray per nostril, twice daily — morning and evening — for consistent relief.
