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 Mealybugs

Recognizing a Mealybug allergy involves identifying specific symptoms and differentiating them from other common allergens. Here is how you can determine if you're specifically allergic to Mealybugs.

Identify Common Allergy Symptoms

Sneezing and Nasal Congestion: Frequent sneezing and a stuffy nose after being around plants may indicate an allergy.
Itchy or Watery Eyes: Irritated eyes can be a response to airborne particles from Mealybugs.
Skin Reactions: Contact with Mealybugs can cause localized rashes or itching on the skin.
Respiratory Issues: Difficulty breathing or wheezing, particularly indoors where plants are present, could signal an allergy.

Evaluate Recent Exposure

Consider if you've been near infested plants recently. Mealybugs typically infest houseplants, gardens, or greenhouses.
Note any symptom flare-ups coinciding with exposure to areas where Mealybugs are common.

Differentiate from Similar Allergens

Check if your symptoms alleviate when away from areas with known Mealybug infestations.
Compare symptoms with common indoor allergens like dust mites or mold, which may cause similar reactions.
Observe if symptoms persist outdoors, which may indicate pollen rather than Mealybug allergies.

Consult a Healthcare Professional

A doctor can conduct skin or blood tests to identify specific allergies, including those to Mealybugs.
Discuss your exposure history and symptoms with a healthcare provider for a comprehensive diagnosis.

Tips for Avoiding Mealybugs Allergy

‍

Regular Plant Inspection

Mealybugs thrive on plant sap, making houseplants their primary habitat. Regularly inspecting your plants helps detect these pests early, allowing for prompt intervention. Address any infestations immediately to prevent allergic reactions that might arise from contact or proximity.

Maintain Household Cleanliness

Keeping your living space clean and dust-free can minimize potential allergens, including those from mealybugs. Regular cleaning, vacuuming, and dusting help reduce the chances of a mealybug presence and the allergens they might carry.

Avoid Infested Areas

Identify areas or plants prone to mealybug infestations and avoid prolonged exposure to them or take necessary precautions. This strategy minimizes your exposure to any allergens the pests may spread, thereby reducing the risk of allergic reactions.

Use Protective Gear

When handling plants or areas with potential mealybug infestations, wear protective gloves and masks. This protective gear reduces direct contact with the allergens, protecting your skin and respiratory system from potential irritants.

Allergy FAQ

‍

How do Mealybugs trigger allergic reactions?

Mealybugs and Allergic Reactions

Mealybugs, small pests found commonly on plants, can trigger allergic reactions in some individuals. This is primarily due to the presence of their waxy secretions and residues on affected plants.

Individuals may experience respiratory issues or skin irritation when exposed. The allergenic potential of Mealybugs is linked to inhalation or direct contact with these substances.

Measures to mitigate exposure include wearing gloves during gardening and ensuring proper ventilation indoors where plants may harbor Mealybugs.

What proteins in Mealybugs cause allergies?

Proteins in Mealybugs That Cause Allergies

Mealybugs contain specific allergenic proteins that can cause reactions in sensitive individuals. These proteins are often found in the insect's body and excretions.

Key allergenic proteins include enzymes such as chitinases, which are involved in the breakdown of chitin, a component of the insect's exoskeleton.

These allergens can trigger symptoms in individuals with insect allergies, particularly in those with increased exposure to these pests through farming or indoor infestations.

Can allergies to Mealybugs be diagnosed wusiasm,specifically with specific tests?

Diagnosing Allergies to Mealybugs

Consult an allergist to discuss symptoms and exposure history. A detailed examination and patient history are crucial for forming a hypothesis.

Skin prick tests may be conducted, involving exposure to a small amount of potential allergen on the skin's surface to observe any reactions.

Blood tests, like specific IgE testing, examine the presence of antibodies reacting to mealybug proteins, providing additional confirmation.
