Curex is the place to go for all your allergy questions and needs. Led by healthcare entrepreneurs and allergy clinicians, Curex is an integrated, online telemedicine clinic for people who suffer from environmental allergies (e.g., indoor, outdoor or pet), asthma, and eczema.

Curex is the largest online allergy and asthma clinic in the U.S. We started because our clinicians wanted to offer more convenient and affordable allergy and asthma care for everyone. So far we have attracted more than 50,000 customers from every U.S. state. We are proud to have the highest patient satisfaction and loyalty rates in the industry. Our service has been audited and certified by LegitScript.com.

What services do you offer?

Curex provides comprehensive care for those suffering from allergies, asthma, and eczema. This includes customized sublingual immunotherapy, at-home concierge allergy testing, and symptom management. Our goal is to provide accessibility and quality of allergy care in the U.S.

Does Curex accept insurance?

Curex accepts the majority of insurance plans across the United States, including Aetna, Anthem, United, Humana, and others. While it is difficult to estimate out-of-pocket costs prior to a claim being submitted, our team will work with you to make sure your treatment is as affordable as possible. For that purpose, we also cap copays at $500/year. In addition, Curex accepts HSA and FSA.

What conditions do you treat?

We focus on indoor and outdoor allergies caused by environmental or inhalant allergies, like those caused by pollens, weeds, grasses, dust mites, molds, and pets. We also treat allergic asthma and eczema, as these conditions are closely related to allergies.

What is immunotherapy?

Immunotherapy is a longstanding form of treatment that aims to meaningfully reduce the underlying cause of indoor/outdoor allergies and related conditions. It is frequently practiced by using allergen extracts for shots or allergy tablets. Treatment plans are customized to the individual patient based on medical profile, test results, and lifestyle needs.

Can my child use Curex?

Curex serves adults and children as young as 5 years old. Certain tests and treatments may be limited for younger kids. Start by answering the quiz, so that our clinicians can recommend the best testing and treatment options.

Does Curex treat food allergies?

Curex currently treats allergies to tree, weed, grass pollens, pet allergies, dust mites, mold, and cockroach. We do not treat food, metal, venom, or flower allergies.

What is your cancellation policy?

Treatments are shipped in 3-month installments in all plans. Cancellations are accepted prior to the next refill being compounded by the pharmacy (so you can get a partial refund on a prepayment plan). To cancel or pause subscriptions, please email our team at hi@getcurex.com.

How does allergy testing work?

Depending on your location, we send a phlebotomist (medical assistant) to your home or office for a simple blood draw (not a finger prick). This sample is then processed using hospital-grade technology to produce accurate results. In some areas, you may need to go into a local lab for your blood draw. We work with LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics. This is an IgE blood test that results in more accurate results compared to finger prick tests that are available online through some companies. This is not a skin scratch test where an allergist spends 30+ minutes injecting you with small doses of allergens to see if any swelling or reaction occurs.

Is sublingual immunotherapy safe?

Studies have shown a significantly lower risk for anaphylaxis relative to allergy shots, allowing you to take them in the comfort of your own home. If recommended by your Curex-affiliated clinician, or if you prefer, your first dose may be monitored to ensure proper usage. Clinicians will also assist in helping you manage any side effects that you may experience.

Key Symptoms of Dyes Allergy

Skin Reactions

Skin reactions such as hives, itching, or rashes are common symptoms of dye allergies. This can occur immediately after contact with the dye or can take a day or two to appear.

Respiratory Issues

Instances of wheezing, difficulty in breathing, or even asthma attacks could be triggered by an allergic reaction to dyes. This usually occurs when the dye is inhaled.

Eye Inflammation

Exposure to certain dyes can cause eye redness, tearing, swelling or itching. This usually happens when the dye comes into direct contact with the eyes.

Headaches and Dizziness

Some people experience headaches and dizziness as a reaction to certain dyes. This usually happens when the dye is ingested or inhaled.

Digestive Problems

Consumption of products containing certain dyes can trigger digestive problems such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or diarrhea in people who are allergic to those dyes.

Swelling

Unusual swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat can be a severe symptom of dye allergy. This could potentially be a part of anaphylactic reactions and requires immediate medical attention.

How to Recognize if You're Allergic to Dyes

Identifying a dyes allergy requires understanding the common symptoms associated with this type of allergy and connecting them to exposure to dyes. This guide can help you better identify signs of a dyes allergy.

Identify Dyes Allergy Symptoms

Hives or rash: One of the most common signs of a dyes allergy is skin reactions. This could manifest as hives, redness, or other skin irritations.
Itchy or watery eyes: This symptom could occur if you have been exposed to dyes and have a mild allergic reaction.
Difficulty breathing: In severe cases of a dyes allergy, you might have difficulty breathing. This is a sign of a serious allergic reaction and you should seek medical attention immediately.

Track Exposure to Dyes

Tips for Avoiding Dyes Allergy

‍

Avoid Unknown Products

Tend to avoid products that do not list ingredients or carry labels such as "made with natural ingredients", as these can often contain dyes. Stick to products you are familiar with and that disclose all ingredients on the packaging. If you are unsure of a product, research it or contact the manufacturer for more information.

Opt for Natural Dyes

Where possible, opt for products using natural or vegetable dyes, instead of synthetic ones. Natural dyes typically cause fewer allergic reactions, but remember that you can still be allergic to natural substances. Always test a new product on a small patch of skin before full application.

Wear Protective Clothing

When you are applying dyes, especially hair dyes, always remember to wear protective clothing to avoid skin contact. This can include gloves, long sleeves, and eye protection. Immediately wash off any dye that comes into contact with your skin.

Regular Allergy Tests

Invest in regular allergy tests to update your knowledge about what substances you might be allergic to. The allergy profile can change over time and you might develop sensitivity to substances that didn't previously bother you, including dyes.

Diet to Ease Dyes Allergy Symptoms

Boost Your Immune System

Increasing the strength of your immune system can help your body better handle exposure to dyes. Foods rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, strawberries, and bell peppers, can help strengthen your immune system. Probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, kimchi, and kombucha also aid in boosting immunity by promoting a healthy gut microbiome.

Include Anti-Inflammatories

Many types of allergies, including dye allergies, can cause inflammation in the body. Including anti-inflammatory foods in your diet can counter this effect. Turmeric, ginger, and foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon, walnuts, and chia seeds, are excellent choices.

Hydrate Your Body

Maintaining adequate hydration can reduce allergy symptoms. It helps in flushing out allergens from your body. Incorporate hydrating foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and oranges into your diet, in addition to regular water intake.

Consume Detoxifying Foods

Some foods are known to have detoxifying properties, which might help ease dye allergy symptoms. These include beetroot, lemon, and garlic.

What Food Worsens Dyes Allergy

Food dyes allergies can intensify with the consumption of certain types of food products which contain artificial colorings and dyes. These include:

Foods with Artificial Colorings

Candies and Sweets: Most candies contain synthetic dyes like Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1 to make them appear attractive.
Soft drinks and Fruit Juices: carbonated drinks and fruit beverages contain artificial colorings, usually labeled as "FD&C" followed by a color and a number.
Processed and Packaged foods: Many heavily processed foods, such as breakfast cereals, chips, and snack foods, contain food dyes.

Foods with Preservatives

Processed Meat: meats like ham, sausages, and bacon often contain preservatives and dyes.
Pickled Foods: Pickles, olives, and other pickled foods might contain colorings to enhance their appearance.
Instant and Ready to Eat Foods: These foods often contain additives, preservatives, and food colorings.

By avoiding these types of foods, one can minimize the chances of worsening their food dye allergies.

Allergy FAQ

‍

What is the difference between natural and synthetic dye allergies?

Natural vs. Synthetic Dye Allergies

**Natural Dye Allergies**: These allergies are typically caused by exposure to plant-based or animal-derived dyes. Some individuals may react to specific natural substances or proteins inherent in these dyes. Sensitivities might relate to cross-reactivity with other plant or animal allergens.

**Synthetic Dye Allergies**: Artificially produced, these dyes can contain chemical compounds that trigger allergic reactions. Symptoms are often related to exposure to additives like azo or aniline dyes, which can cause skin reactions, respiratory issues, or more systemic responses.

Which dye colors are most commonly associated with allergic reactions?

Common Dye Colors Associated with Allergies

**P-Phenylenediamine (PPD):** Commonly found in black and dark brown hair dyes, a frequent allergen causing reactions such as eczema.

**Red Dyes:** Ingredients like carmine, cochineal, or azo dyes found in red textiles and cosmetics can induce allergic contact dermatitis.

**Yellow Dyes:** Tartrazine, a synthetic yellow dye used in food and medications, is known for causing allergic reactions and sensitivity.

How can one identify if a textile dye is causing an allergic reaction?

Identify Textile Dye Allergy

Observe skin reactions such as redness, itching, or hives after wearing new or dyed clothing.

Note the timing of when symptoms appear—typically within hours of exposure to the dyed fabric.

Consider if symptoms improve when not in contact with the suspected clothing.

Consult a dermatologist for patch testing to identify specific dye allergies.

Keep a diary of clothing worn and corresponding skin reactions to help pinpoint culprits.
