Exposure to non-organic cotton can lead to skin rashes and intense itching. This is due to the presence of harmful pesticides and dyes typically used in non-organic cotton production.
Some people may experience nasal irritation, including a runny or stuffy nose. This is a common allergic reaction that occurs as the body tries to expel the irritants.
Repeated sneezing is yet another common symptom of this type of allergy. It is a reflex action triggered by the irritation in the nasal passages.
Watery eyes can indicate an allergy to non-organic cotton. This happens when the body reacts to the allergens by producing excess tears to flush out the irritants.
Exposure to non-organic cotton can cause difficulty in breathing. Allergens can trigger an asthma-like response where the airways narrow causing shortness of breath.
In some cases, individuals may experience swelling and redness, especially around the exposed area. This is an inflammatory response as the body attempts to protect the affected area.

Understanding the Signs of Non-Organic Cotton Allergy
Non-organic cotton allergies are not as common as some other types of allergies, but it is still possible for the body to have a negative reaction to the chemicals used during the production process. Here are some signs that you might have an allergy to non-organic cotton:
Examine Your Skin Reaction
Watch for Respiratory Symptoms
Evaluate Other Potential Allergenic Sources
Identifying a specific allergy source can be tricky. You may need to consider whether there might be a different allergen causing your symptoms. You could try to switch to 100% organic cotton products for a period and see if your symptoms improve. If they do, you may have a non-organic cotton allergy. If the symptoms persist, it could be another allergen at work.
Medical Testing
If you are still unsure whether you have a non-organic cotton allergy, medical tests such as a skin prick test or a blood test can help you confirm your suspicion. Seek advice from a medical professional.

Opt for fabrics made from organic cotton. Unlike non-organic cotton, organic cotton is grown without the use of toxic pesticides or synthetic fertilisers, which can cause allergic reactions. Organic cotton also doesn't contain harmful chemical dyes and bleach, thus making it friendlier to the skin.
Always read fabric labels before making any purchasing decision. The label will tell you what materials have been used and will allow you to avoid non-organic cotton. Look for labels stating '100% organic', 'organic' or 'made with organic' to ensure you're not buying non-organic cotton.
Washing new clothes before wearing them can remove surface residues left over from the manufacturing process. Use a mild, natural detergent free of fragrance and dyes to avoid further skin irritation.
If you have a known fabric allergy, consider investing in hypoallergenic clothing. Hypoallergenic materials are less likely to cause an allergic reaction as they are made without the additives or chemicals often found in non-organic cotton.

Non-Organic Cotton Growth Cycle
Non-organic cotton in the U.S is typically planted in the spring, between mid-March and June, once soil temperatures have reached a consistent 60°F. Following planting, it takes approximately two weeks for the cotton seeds to germinate and emerge from the soil. The cotton plants then go through a vegetative growth period that typically lasts until the end of June or the beginning of July. This phase is followed by the flowering and fruiting phases.
Harvest Time
The cotton plants mature and are ready for harvest in the fall. Bolls, the fruit of the cotton plant, are mature and ready for harvest approximately 45 to 50 days after the flower first appears. Harvest dates can greatly vary, from late August in southern regions to late November in northern growing areas. After the cotton is picked, it typically undergoes a ginning process to remove the seeds from the cotton fiber before it is ready for 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.
