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 Glosses

If you suspect you have an allergy to glosses, there are certain signs and symptoms you should be aware of. Glosses allergies might manifest as an allergic reaction on your lips or around your mouth area. Below are steps to recognize if you have a Glosses allergy.

Recognize the Symptoms

Skin Irritation: Symptoms might include redness, itching, swelling, or a rash around the lips or mouth area after applying the gloss.
Burning Sensation: You might feel a stinging or burning sensation on your lips immediately after using the gloss.
Dryness or Peeling: Your lips may become excessively dry or begin to peel after using the gloss. This is a common symptom of an allergic reaction.

Identify the Timing

Immediate Reaction: If you're allergic to glosses, you might notice symptoms immediately or a few minutes after application.
Repeated Exposure: Sometimes, an allergy might not be apparent the first few times you use a product. However, if symptoms consistently occur after repeated use, it is likely a sign of an allergy.

Perform a Patch Test

Apply a Small Amount: Before applying the gloss to your lips, apply a small amount to another part of your body, such as the inside of your elbow.
Observe Reaction: Wait for at least 24 hours to see whether any adverse reactions occur. If you notice any redness, itching, or swelling, it's likely that you're allergic to the gloss.

Remember always to consult a healthcare professional or allergist if you have concerns about a potential gloss allergy. This advice is meant to be a guideline and not a replacement for professional medical advice.

Tips for Avoiding Glosses Allergy

‍

Choose Glosses with Natural Ingredients

Opt for lip glosses that are composed of natural ingredients. These would contain fewer chemicals, thus lower your chances of having an allergic reaction. You can often find glosses that are naturally derived or hypoallergenic, which are designed to be gentle on the skin.

Perform a Patch Test

Before applying any new lip gloss, perform a patch test. This entails applying a small amount of the product on a patch of your skin, like your wrist, and waiting for 24 hours. If no allergic reaction appears, it is typically safe to apply to your lips.

Always check the Ingredient List

Always make it a point to check the ingredient list of any lip gloss before purchasing. If you have known allergens, compare them against the ingredient list to ensure you are not allergic to any of the components. This can help you prevent an allergic reaction from occurring.

Avoid Fruit and Flavor Enhancers

Fruit and flavor enhancers in lip glosses often cause an allergic reaction. If you are prone to such reactions, it would be a good practice to avoid lip glosses that are flavored or contain these fruit extracts.

Diet to Ease Glosses Allergy Symptoms

Boost Immune System

Fruits and Vegetables: Incorporate antioxidant-rich foods such as berries, citrus fruits, tomatoes, bell peppers, and leafy greens. These strengthen the immune system, which can help reduce allergic reactions.
Probiotic-rich Foods: Consuming foods like yogurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, and pickles can help maintain gut health, which is integral to immune function.

Reduce Inflammation

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Food items like salmon, chia seeds, flax seeds, and walnuts are high omega-3 fatty acids which have anti-inflammatory effects, they can help lessen allergy symptoms.
Spices: Turmeric and ginger have known anti-inflammatory properties, include them in your meals.

Hydrate

Keeping hydrated aids your body in diluting mucus and removing allergens. Choose water, herbal teas, or soups.

Maintain a Balanced Diet

A balanced diet provides essential nutrients that your body needs to function well, including combating allergies. Ensure your diet includes lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats.

What Food Worsens Glosses Allergy

Unfortunate to those affected, certain foods can worsen Glosses Allergy symptoms. Here's a list of foods that should be avoided because they can increase the severity of the symptoms.

Foods Containing Sulfites

Wine and Beer: These beverages, particularly red wine, typically contain sulfites which could trigger Glosses Allergy.
Dried Fruits: Sulfites are used in dried fruits to preserve their color, making them a food to avoid.
Packaged Foods: Numerous packaged foods contain sulfites as preservatives. Always read labels to be sure.

High Histamine Foods

Aged Cheeses: Aged cheeses, like cheddar and gouda, have higher histamine levels and can exacerbate Glosses Allergy symptoms.
Fermented Foods: Foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi, and fermented soy products can increase histamine levels.
Cured Meats: Meats such as salami, pepperoni, and hot dogs also contain histamines.

Food Additives

Artificial Colors and Preservatives: Some people with Glosses Allergy may have a reaction to foods with artificial colors and preservatives.
MSG: Monosodium glutamate, a flavor enhancer in many foods, can trigger symptoms in some people.

Take note that everyone's reaction to certain foods can vary, so it's best to consult with a healthcare provider for tailored advice.

Allergy FAQ

‍

Can a Glosses allergy cause cross-reactivity with certain foods?

Glosses Allergy and Cross-Reactivity

Glosses allergy, often linked to grasses, can lead to cross-reactivity with certain foods due to similar protein structures.

This phenomenon is known as Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) and is caused by the immune system's confusion between pollen and food proteins.

Common foods that may trigger reactions include peaches, melons, tomatoes, and celery due to their protein similarities with grass pollen.

It's advised for individuals with Glosses allergy to be aware of these potential cross-reactions and monitor their diet accordingly.

Is there a specific protein in Glosses responsible for triggering allergic reactions?

Allergy Trigger

The specific protein in Glosses responsible for triggering allergic reactions is often a major allergen, usually a type of lipocalin or other related proteins.

These proteins act as allergens by binding to IgE antibodies in sensitized individuals, provoking an immune response.

Identifying the protein helps in designing targeted allergy tests and developing potential therapies for management.

Are there any unique diagnostic methods available for identifying a Glosses allergy?

Diagnostic Methods for Glosses Allergy

**Skin Prick Tests (SPT):** A common technique where small amounts of potential allergens, including glosses, are introduced to the skin's surface, typically on the forearm or back. If a reaction occurs, such as redness or swelling, it indicates a potential allergy.

**Serology Tests:** Blood tests, like specific IgE tests, can identify antibodies that react to glosses allergens. While less direct than skin tests, they provide useful insights into sensitivities.

**Patch Tests:** These are employed to determine contact allergies, though less common for immediate hypersensitivity reactions like glosses allergies.
