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 Fescue

Recognizing if you have a Fescue allergy involves identifying specific symptoms associated with grass allergies and establishing a connection to Fescue exposure. Follow this guide to help determine if Fescue is the cause of your symptoms.

Identify Common Grass Allergy Symptoms

Sneezing and Nasal Congestion: Frequent sneezing and a stuffy nose are common signs of grass allergies.
Itchy, Watery Eyes: Allergies to grass pollen often cause itchy and watery eyes.
Throat Irritation: A persistent itch or irritation in your throat can signify a grass pollen allergy.
Coughing: A dry, non-productive cough is often associated with pollen exposure.

Observe Timing and Environment

Seasonal Patterns: Fescue pollen is most prevalent during specific times of the year, typically late spring through summer.
Outdoor Activities: If your symptoms worsen after spending time on lawns or grassy areas, Fescue may be the culprit.

Use Symptom Tracking

Track Symptom Variations: Keeping a diary of your symptoms and noting when they occur can help identify triggers.
Note Any Changes: Observe if symptoms improve when away from grassy areas or when indoors with filtered air.

Consider Allergy Testing

Consult an Allergist: An allergy specialist can conduct specific tests to accurately identify Fescue pollen as the source of your allergy.
Skin or Blood Tests: These tests can provide confirmation of Fescue sensitivity, distinguishing it from other allergens.

Evaluate Symptom Improvements

Avoidance: Reducing exposure to Fescue by staying indoors on high pollen days can help manage symptoms.
Treatment Response: If medications or allergy treatments are effective, it supports the idea that Fescue could be a trigger.

When Fescue Grows and Its Impacts

Fescue, a type of grass that can cause allergic reactions in some individuals, typically grows during specific times of the year in the U.S. The growing season for Fescue is primarily in the cooler months of spring and fall when the temperatures are mild.

Growth Periods

Spring: Fescue often begins to grow as temperatures rise after winter, around March through May.
Fall: The growth can resume in autumn, around September through November, when conditions become favorable again after the heat of summer.

During these seasons, Fescue releases pollen, which can be a concern for allergy sufferers until the grass becomes dormant in peak summer or winter conditions.

Where Fescue Grows Across the USA?

Where Fescue Grows in the USA

Tips for Avoiding Fescue Allergy

‍

Avoid Outdoor Activities During Peak Pollination

Fescue grass releases pollen during its pollination season, which typically occurs in late spring and early summer. Avoid outdoor activities during this time to minimize exposure to allergens. Consider staying indoors, especially on windy days when pollen is more likely to be dispersed.

Create a Pollen-Free Home Environment

Ensure your living space is as pollen-free as possible by keeping windows and doors closed, using air purifiers with HEPA filters, and regularly vacuuming with a vacuum cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter. These measures can help keep indoor air clean and reduce the risk of triggering an allergic reaction.

Wear Protective Clothing

When you need to be outdoors around fescue grass, wear protective clothing such as long sleeves, pants, and sunglasses to minimize skin exposure to the pollen. A wide-brimmed hat can also help protect your face from pollen. Immediately change and wash clothes after returning indoors to remove any pollen that may have adhered to the fabric.

Consult with an Allergist

Seeking advice from an allergist can provide personalized strategies for managing fescue allergies. Testing can determine your specific allergies, and they might suggest treatments such as antihistamines, nasal sprays, or allergy shots to help manage your symptoms and avoid triggers effectively.

Diet to Ease Fescue Allergy Symptoms

If you are experiencing a Fescue Allergy, certain dietary choices may help ease the symptoms.

Include Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Consume foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon and walnuts, to reduce inflammation.
Incorporate turmeric and ginger for their natural anti-inflammatory properties.

Boost Immune System with Vitamins

Eat citrus fruits like oranges and lemons, which are high in vitamin C, to support the immune system.
Include leafy greens like spinach, which offer a good amount of vitamin E and folate.

Consider Quercetin-Rich Foods

Add onions, apples, and berries to your diet as they contain quercetin, a natural antihistamine.
Green tea is also a beneficial beverage choice for its quercetin content.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water to help flush allergens from your system and stay well-hydrated.

What Food Worsens Fescue Allergy

Individuals with a Fescue allergy may find that certain foods can aggravate their symptoms due to cross-reactivity, where the proteins in these foods are similar to the allergens in Fescue pollen.

Foods to Avoid

Wheat: Some people may experience increased symptoms when consuming wheat products, as the protein similarity can trigger a response.
Barley: Similar to wheat, barley can cause issues for those with Fescue allergies due to protein cross-reactivity.
Rye: Comes from the same family as wheat and barley, and consuming rye-containing products could exacerbate allergy symptoms.
Certain Fruits: Fruits like melons, tomatoes, and oranges might also worsen symptoms in some individuals.
Tomatoes: Known to cause cross-reactive symptoms for certain grass pollens.

Consultation with a Healthcare Professional

Always discuss dietary changes with a healthcare professional, especially for specific allergies.

Allergy FAQ

‍

How does Fescue allergy differ from allergies to other grass types?

Differences in Fescue Allergy

**Pollen characteristics**: Fescue grass has unique pollen properties that may cause different allergic reactions compared to other grass types.

**Geographical factors**: Fescue is commonly found in specific regions, which may influence the prevalence and severity of allergies based on regional exposure.

**Cross-reactivity**: Individuals allergic to Fescue might not always react to other grasses, highlighting the importance of identifying specific allergens through testing.

What types of products typically contain Fescue pollen?

Sources of Fescue Pollen

**Airborne Particulate**: Fescue pollen is primarily found in the air, especially in areas with large grass fields and lawns. It tends to be most prevalent during particular seasons, such as late spring through early fall.

**Outdoor Spaces**: Parks, sports fields, and golf courses commonly contain fescue grass, releasing pollen during its flowering season.

**Gardening Material**: Grass seed mixes and gardening soil sometimes include fescue varieties, contributing to the dissemination of pollen during sowing and maintenance.

Can cross-reactivity occur between Fescue and other common grasses?

Cross-Reactivity of Fescue with Other Grasses

Fescue allergy can indeed exhibit cross-reactivity with other common grasses. This means that individuals allergic to fescue may also react to similar proteins found in other grass pollens.

Common grasses that may cross-react include Bermuda grass, Kentucky bluegrass, Timothy grass, and ryegrass. These species share protein structures that the immune system may recognize similarly.

Avoidance of exposure and managing symptoms is crucial. Consult with healthcare providers for testing and personalized advice on allergy management.
