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.

How to Recognize if You're Allergic to Ferrets

Recognizing if you have a Ferret allergy can involve understanding the common symptoms of pet allergies and associating them with exposure to ferrets specifically. Here is a guide that can help you determine if ferrets are the source.

Understand Pet Allergy Symptoms

Sneezing: Allergies to animals can often cause frequent sneezing.
Watery or Itchy Eyes: This can occur when experiencing an allergic reaction to pet dander.
Runny or Stuffy Nose: Exposure to allergens can lead to nasal congestion or a runny nose.
Skin Reactions: Sometimes an allergy manifests as a rash or hives upon direct contact with ferrets.
Shortness of Breath or Wheezing: More severe allergic reactions can lead to respiratory symptoms.

Identify Exposure to Ferrets

Determine if symptoms occur specifically when near or handling ferrets.
Keep track of when symptoms start and if they intensify during or after interaction with ferrets.
Note if symptoms improve when you are in a ferret-free environment.

Consider Environmental Factors

Ensure that symptoms are not due to other environmental factors such as dust, pollen, or other animals.
Take note of any changes in symptoms when away from home, or if visiting places with known ferret presence.

Consult a Healthcare Professional

Seek advice from an allergist to conduct skin or blood tests that can confirm a ferret allergy.
Discuss any over-the-counter or prescribed medications that may alleviate symptoms.

Trial Elimination

Consider temporarily keeping your environment ferret-free and observe any changes in symptoms.
Reintroduce ferrets into your environment carefully to see if symptoms return.

Tips for Avoiding Ferrets Allergy

‍

Limit Exposure

Try to spend less time in close proximity to ferrets. If you own a ferret, delegate care tasks to other family members who aren't allergic or wear protective gear like gloves and masks when handling them.

Regular Cleaning

Maintain a clean environment by frequently washing bedding, pet cages, and vacuuming to remove dander. Use HEPA filters in air purifiers and vacuum cleaners to effectively capture allergens.

Allergen-Reducing Products

Utilize allergen-reducing products such as sprays designed to minimize pet dander, or laundry additives that can help in further reducing the amount of allergens present in fabrics.

Consult an Allergist

If symptoms persist, consult an allergist who may recommend antihistamines, allergy shots, or other medications to help manage reactions and provide suitable treatment options.

Diet to Ease Ferrets Allergy Symptoms

Focus on Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Fatty fish: Consume salmon, mackerel, or sardines, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, to support an anti-inflammatory response.
Nuts and seeds: Include walnuts, flaxseeds, and chia seeds, which are good sources of omega-3s.
Olive oil: Use extra virgin olive oil for its anti-inflammatory properties.

Include Antioxidant-Rich Foods

Berries: Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are high in antioxidants.
Leafy greens: Spinach and kale are packed with vitamins and antioxidants.
Green tea: Drinking green tea provides powerful antioxidant benefits.

Consider Plant-Based Proteins

Quinoa: A complete protein that is also gluten-free.
Lentils: Rich in fiber and protein, supporting overall health.
Tofu: A versatile plant-based protein source.

What Food Worsens Ferrets Allergy

Ferrets have sensitive digestive systems, and certain foods can worsen allergy symptoms. Identifying and avoiding these allergens is crucial for their health.

Common Food Allergens for Ferrets

Dairy Products: Ferrets are lactose intolerant, and consumption of dairy can aggravate allergies.
Grains: Foods containing grains like wheat, corn, or soy can cause allergic reactions.
Fruits and Vegetables: Ferrets are obligate carnivores; fruits and veggies can trigger allergies.
Processed Foods: Foods with high carbohydrates or artificial additives can lead to allergy issues.

Consultation with a Veterinarian

Seek advice from a vet for recommendations tailored to your ferret's dietary needs.

Allergy FAQ

‍

What causes allergic reactions to ferrets?

Causes of Allergic Reactions to Ferrets

**Proteins**: Allergic reactions are often triggered by proteins found in ferret saliva, urine, and skin secretions. These proteins can become airborne and settle on surfaces.

**Dander**: Ferret dander, consisting of tiny skin flakes, can spread through the air and be inhaled, causing allergic symptoms.

**Contact with Fur**: Direct contact with a ferret's fur can lead to skin irritation and allergic reactions for sensitive individuals.

**Environment Contamination**: Their bedding and cage area can also harbor allergens, distributing them around the house.

Can ferret allergens affect individuals with asthma more severely?

Ferret Allergens and Asthma

Ferret allergens, like those from other animals, can exacerbate asthma symptoms. Sensitive individuals may experience increased respiratory issues such as wheezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing.

The proteins found in ferret saliva, skin, and fur can trigger allergic reactions, leading to inflammation in the airways of asthmatic individuals.

Minimizing exposure, maintaining good indoor air quality, and consulting healthcare professionals for personalized advice is crucial for managing symptoms.

Are hypoallergenic breeds of ferrets available to reduce allergy risk?

Hypoallergenic Ferret Breeds

Currently, there are no true hypoallergenic ferret breeds available. All ferrets can produce allergens.

Ferret allergies are often due to proteins in their saliva, skin, or fur. These allergens are consistent across different breeds.

To reduce allergy risk, consider regular cleaning of the ferret's living area and using air purifiers.
