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 Pigeons

Recognizing if you have a pigeon allergy involves identifying the common symptoms associated with bird protein exposure and then determining your specific exposure to pigeons. Follow these guidelines to distinguish if pigeons might be the cause.

Understand General Bird Allergy Symptoms

Respiratory Issues: Common symptoms include frequent sneezing, a runny or congested nose, and coughing, particularly after exposure to pigeons in parks or urban areas.
Eye Irritation: Itchy, red, or watery eyes can suggest a bird-related allergy.
Skin Reactions: Contact with pigeons or their droppings might cause skin rashes or itching.

Identify Exposure to Pigeons

Proximity to Pigeon Habitats: Noticing symptoms predominantly when near areas populated by pigeons, such as parks or buildings with ledges where pigeons roost, could indicate a specific pigeon allergy.
Handling or Feeding: Reactions occurring after handling or feeding pigeons may suggest sensitivity to proteins found in their feathers, droppings, or saliva.

Consult Allergy Tests

Specific IgE Testing: Discuss with your healthcare provider about blood tests that can pinpoint specific bird allergies, including those to pigeon proteins.
Skin Prick Testing: A controlled environment test can help establish if the symptoms are specifically due to pigeon exposure rather than other allergens.

Monitor Symptoms and Triggers

Track Symptoms: Keep a diary noting when symptoms arise and what activities were occurring, especially focusing on times and locations of pigeon exposure.
Note Improvement Away from Pigeons: Symptom relief when away from areas populated by pigeons can further confirm a specific allergy to these birds.

Consider Professional Advice

Allergist Consultation: If symptoms persist and are severe, consulting an allergist can provide a more personalized approach to managing and confirming a pigeon allergy.

Tips for Avoiding Pigeons Allergy

‍

Limit Exposure to Pigeons

Try to avoid areas heavily populated with pigeons, such as parks or public squares. If you have pigeons near your home, consider methods to scare them away or restrict access to your living areas to minimize direct exposure.

Wear Protective Gear

When you need to be in areas where pigeons are present, wear protective gear such as masks and gloves. This will help prevent skin and respiratory exposure to allergens found in pigeon droppings and feathers.

Maintain Cleanliness

Regularly clean areas where pigeons are known to congregate. Use appropriate cleaning agents to remove droppings and feathers, and ensure proper ventilation in areas being cleaned to reduce the spread of allergens.

Consult a Healthcare Professional

If you suspect you have an allergy to pigeons, consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment. They may recommend antihistamines, allergy shots, or other interventions to manage and reduce allergic reactions.

Diet to Ease Pigeons Allergy Symptoms

Consuming Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Include foods like fatty fish (salmon, mackerel) rich in Omega-3 fatty acids that help reduce inflammation.
Consume nuts and seeds such as flaxseeds and walnuts for their beneficial anti-inflammatory properties.
Integrate olive oil in your meals as a healthy fat option to combat inflammation.

Boosting Immune System

Eat a variety of colorful vegetables and fruits like berries, oranges, and spinach for vitamins and antioxidants.
Introduce probiotics via yogurt or fermented foods like sauerkraut to enhance gut health and immunity.
Add garlic and onion which possess immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties.

Maintaining Hydration

Drink plenty of water to keep mucous membranes well-hydrated and to flush allergens from your system.
Opt for herbal teas such as chamomile or ginger tea which offer soothing properties.

What Food Worsens Pigeons Allergy

Pigeons, much like humans, can suffer from allergies and certain foods can exacerbate their symptoms. It is important to monitor their diet to prevent worsening allergic reactions.

Avoidance of Allergic Foods

Seeds with High Fat Content: Such as sunflower seeds, can lead to increased allergic symptoms.
Peanuts: Often a trigger for avian allergies, peanuts can exacerbate symptoms.
Certain Grains: Wheat and corn may heighten allergic responses in pigeons.
Dairy Products: Though not a natural part of a pigeon’s diet, some may offer pigeons dairy leading to intolerance or allergic reactions.
Processed Foods: High in preservatives and additives, which may worsen allergy symptoms.

Key Consideration

Always provide fresh water and a balanced diet free from common allergens.
Fruit and vegetable intake should be monitored to prevent allergies related to agricultural chemicals.

Allergy FAQ

‍

Can pigeon droppings trigger allergic reactions?

Pigeon Droppings and Allergic Reactions

Pigeon droppings can indeed trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. The droppings contain proteins known as antigens, which can cause respiratory issues when inhaled.

Exposure to these proteins can lead to symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, nasal congestion, and in some cases, a respiratory condition called pigeon breeder's lung, a type of hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

Preventive measures include regular cleaning of affected areas, avoiding direct contact with droppings, and wearing protective gear when cleaning.

Is pigeon dander a common allergen?

Pigeon Dander as an Allergen

Pigeon dander is a known allergen that can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. It consists of tiny skin flakes, feathers, and droppings.

Symptoms can vary from mild to severe and often include sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and asthma. People with exposure to pigeons, such as bird owners or those living in areas with high pigeon populations, are at a higher risk.

Allergy testing with a healthcare provider can confirm sensitivity to pigeon dander.

Are there specific tests for diagnosing pigeon allergies?

Diagnosing Pigeon Allergies

**Skin Prick Test:** A common method where small amounts of allergens, including pigeon proteins, are introduced to the skin. Observation for reactions helps determine sensitivities.

**Blood Tests:** Measures specific IgE antibodies triggered by pigeon allergens. Useful if the skin test isn't possible or safe.

**Elimination Test:** Removing exposure to pigeons to see if symptoms improve, followed by re-exposure to confirm the allergy.
