Individuals with a glue allergy may experience respiratory symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing. These are often the result of the body's immune system reacting to the substances found in glue.
Skin reactions are among the most common symptoms of a glue allergy. This can present as rash, hives, itching, or swelling of the skin where the glue has come into contact.
For people with a glue allergy, exposure to glue, especially eyelash glue, can trigger eyelid dermatitis. This involves an inflammation of the skin on the eyelids, causing redness, itching, and potentially blistering.
Nasal symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion can occur when you inhale glue fumes. These are typical symptoms of an allergic reaction to inhaled substances.
Although rare, in severe cases, a glue allergy can provoke anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction, which may include difficulty breathing, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, and loss of consciousness.
In some instances, exposure to glue can result in allergic conjunctivitis. Symptoms include watery, red eyes which may also feel itchy or gritty. This is the body's reaction to an allergen in the eye.
Recognize your symptoms?

If you suspect that you may have a glue allergy, it's essential to be aware of the symptoms that may occur upon exposure to glue. These symptoms can present as skin reactions or respiratory complications, and knowing how to identify them can help you seek appropriate medical interventions and avoid future exposure.
Understand Glue Allergy Symptoms
Identify Your Exposure to Glue
Think about the different places and situations where you may come in contact with glue. Are you exposed to glue at your workplace? Do you frequently use glue for home projects or crafts? Can a household product or cosmetic you regularly use contain glue?
Seek Medical Attention
If you have noticed these symptoms and suspect you may have a glue allergy, it's crucial to seek medical attention. A healthcare professional can perform tests to confirm the allergy and advise you on the best ways to manage the symptoms and avoid triggers. Remember, each person's allergy symptoms can vary and only a doctor can properly diagnose and treat you.

While using glue or similar adhesives, always try to prevent direct skin contact. Skin contact can cause allergic reactions, leading to rashes and irritation. Using gloves or other protective measures can be a prominent solution to this issue.
Ensure that the room you use glues in is well-ventilated. Many allergic reactions can occur from inhaling the fumes of certain glues. Keeping the area ventilated will help disperse fumes and reduce the risk of inhaling them.
There are certain types of glues available that are designed for people with allergies. These hypoallergenic glues are free from substances that commonly cause allergic reactions. Seek them out at your local craft or hardware stores.
Understanding the chemical components of the adhesives you use can help you prevent allergies. If you're aware that you're allergic to a specific substance, you can avoid using a glue that contains it. Always check labels or ask for assistance.

Glues, specifically chemical adhesives, do not actually "grow" in any season or environment. They are man-made substances and do not proliferate organically. Therefore they do not have a growing season or optimal growing conditions such as plants and fungi allergens.
Industrial and Consumer Use
However, it is important to note that exposure to chemical adhesives can lead to allergic reactions or sensitivities at any time, depending on personal factors and use.

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.
