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 Hamsters

Recognizing if you have a hamster allergy involves observing your body's reactions when in close proximity to hamsters and understanding how to differentiate it from other allergies. Here's a guide to help identify a hamster allergy.

Identify Common Allergy Symptoms

Sneezing: Frequent sneezing may occur when you are near a hamster or its cage.
Runny or Congested Nose: Contact with a hamster might result in a clear runny nose or nasal congestion.
Itchy or Watery Eyes: Exposure to hamster dander can cause your eyes to itch or water.
Skin Reactions: Direct contact with a hamster can lead to rashes, hives, or itching on your skin.
Wheezing or Difficulty Breathing: Allergic reactions can sometimes involve respiratory symptoms, especially if you have asthma.

Observe Timing and Triggers

Exposure Correlation: Notice if your symptoms worsen when you handle a hamster, clean its cage, or are in the same room.
Improvement Away from Hamsters: Symptoms should decrease when you are not around hamster environments or after thorough cleaning.

Rule Out Other Allergies

Cross-Check Animal Allergies: Consider whether other animals cause similar reactions to determine if the allergy is specific to hamsters.
Environmental Factors: Be aware of dust, pollen, or other common allergens in conjunction with hamster exposure.

Consult an Allergy Specialist

Allergy Testing: An allergist can conduct specific skin or blood tests to identify a hamster allergy.
Professional Diagnosis: A confirmed diagnosis can help with proper treatment and management plans.

Tips for Avoiding Hamsters Allergy

‍

Limit Direct Contact

Avoid handling the hamster directly. When necessary, wear gloves and wash hands immediately afterward to reduce exposure to allergens.

Maintain Clean Habitat

Clean the hamster's cage regularly. Use gloves and a mask to prevent inhaling allergens, and ensure proper ventilation to reduce allergen accumulation.

Choose Hypoallergenic Bedding

Opt for hypoallergenic bedding materials such as paper-based products instead of traditional wood shavings, which can trigger allergic reactions.

Use Air Purifiers

Place air purifiers with HEPA filters in the room where the hamster is kept to help reduce airborne allergens.

Diet to Ease Hamsters Allergy Symptoms

Foods Rich in Omega-3

Include fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines to help reduce inflammation.
Add flaxseeds or chia seeds for plant-based omega-3 sources.

Antioxidant-Rich Foods

Incorporate a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, especially berries, spinach, and broccoli.
Enjoy green tea for additional antioxidant benefits.

Probiotic Foods

Consume yogurt with live cultures or fermented foods like sauerkraut and kimchi to support gut health.
Try kefir as a probiotic-rich drink option.

Quercetin-Rich Foods

Eat onions and apples, which are known to reduce histamine release and help mitigate allergy symptoms.
Include capers in your diet for a strong quercetin source.

Vitamin C Sources

Eat plenty of citrus fruits, strawberries, and peppers to help boost your immune system.
Consider adding broccoli and kale for additional vitamin C intake.

What Food Worsens Hamsters Allergy

For hamsters with allergies, certain foods can exacerbate their symptoms, and it's crucial to avoid them to maintain their health and comfort.

Avoid Citrus Fruits

Citrus fruits like oranges and lemons should be avoided as they are acidic and can irritate the digestive system of allergy-prone hamsters.

Stay Away from Spicy Foods

Spices can be harsh on a hamster's system, leading to additional irritation and potentially worsening allergic reactions.

Limit Sugary Foods

Excessive sugar can interfere with a hamster's immune system, exacerbating allergy symptoms, so sugary treats should be limited.

Avoid Nuts

Some hamsters might have specific allergies to nuts, particularly peanuts, which can trigger allergic responses.

Allergy FAQ

‍

Can hamster allergies be triggered by bedding materials?

Hamster Allergies and Bedding Materials

Hamster allergies can indeed be triggered by bedding materials. Some bedding, especially those made from aromatic wood shavings like cedar or pine, can release harmful compounds or dust that may provoke allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

Consider using hypoallergenic bedding options such as paper-based products, which are typically safer and less likely to cause allergic responses.

Regularly clean and change the bedding to minimize allergen buildup and ensure proper ventilation in the hamster's habitat.

What treatments are available for managing hamster allergies?

Managing Hamster Allergies

**Avoid Exposure**: Minimize direct contact with the hamster. Designate specific areas in the house where the hamster is allowed, and keep other areas allergen-free.

**Environmental Control**: Use air purifiers with HEPA filters to reduce airborne allergens. Regularly clean the cage and wash hands after handling the hamster or cleaning.

**Symptom Relief**: Over-the-counter antihistamines can help manage symptoms. Nasal sprays and decongestants are also options for treating nasal allergies.

**Curex - Immunotherapy**: For long-term treatment, consider Curex immunotherapy, which helps reduce sensitivity to allergens over time.

Is it possible for someone to develop a hamster allergy over time?

Hamster Allergy Development

Yes, it is possible for someone to develop a hamster allergy over time. Allergies can emerge after repeated exposure to allergens found in hamster fur, saliva, or urine.

Allergic reactions occur when the immune system mistakenly identifies these proteins as harmful, leading to symptoms such as sneezing, itching, or respiratory issues.

If suspected, it is advisable to consult an allergist for definitive testing and diagnosis to confirm the allergy and explore subsequent steps.
