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 Poverty Weed

Identifying an allergy to Poverty Weed specifically involves recognizing allergy symptoms and the context in which they occur. Follow these steps for a clearer indication.

Common Allergy Symptoms

Sneezing: Regularly sneezing when near areas where Poverty Weed grows may indicate an allergy.
Watery or Itchy Eyes: If your eyes frequently become watery or itchy, especially during the peak blooming season of Poverty Weed, it might be a sign of allergy.
Runny or Stuffy Nose: Experiencing a persistent runny or congested nose after being near Poverty Weed is a possible symptom.
Itchy Throat: An itchy throat can result from being in close proximity to the plant or inhaling its pollen.

Pinpoint the Exposure

Notice the timing and location of your symptoms. If they flare up during late summer and fall, when Poverty Weed pollinates, this might be indicative.
Pay attention to environments, such as roadsides or open fields, where Poverty Weed is common. If symptoms worsen in these settings, it could be a clue.

Seek Medical Confirmation

Consult with an allergist for tests that can confirm if your symptoms are specifically caused by Poverty Weed pollen.
An allergist may perform skin prick tests or blood tests to identify specific allergens.

Track and Compare Symptoms

Keep a log of your symptoms, noting when and where they occur. This can help determine if they align with the presence of Poverty Weed.
Compare symptoms with other known allergens in your environment to rule out other common sources like dust or pet dander.

Tips for Avoiding Poverty Weed Allergy

‍

Avoid Outdoor Exposure

Limit your time spent outdoors during high pollen seasons, particularly in areas known to have high concentrations of Poverty Weed. Check local pollen forecasts and plan outdoor activities accordingly.

Utilize Air Purifiers

Invest in a high-quality air purifier with a HEPA filter to reduce indoor exposure to pollen. Keep windows closed during high pollen times to prevent allergens from entering your living space.

Wash and Change Clothes Regularly

Avoid bringing pollen into your home by changing clothes and taking a shower after being outdoors. Launder clothes worn outside to remove any pollen residue and prevent it from spreading indoors.

Consult Allergy Specialists

If you consistently experience allergy symptoms, seek advice from an allergy specialist. They can provide you with tailored treatments, including antihistamines or allergy shots, to help manage your symptoms effectively.

Allergy FAQ

‍

How does Poverty Weed affect indoor air quality after being carried inside?

Poverty Weed's Impact on Indoor Air Quality

Poverty Weed, when brought indoors, releases allergens and particulate matter that can degrade air quality, aggravating respiratory conditions.

Microscopic pollen grains can become airborne, increasing indoor allergen levels and potentially triggering allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.

Regular vacuuming and using air purifiers can help reduce the concentration of these allergens indoors.

Keeping windows and doors closed during high pollen seasons can also minimize the transport of Poverty Weed pollen into indoor environments.

What role do specific proteins in Poverty Weed play in triggering allergic reactions?

Role of Proteins in Allergy

Poverty Weed produces allergenic proteins that are responsible for triggering immune responses. These proteins act as antigens, prompting the immune system to mount a defense.

The primary allergenic proteins are group 13 and 21 allergens, which can bind to IgE antibodies in sensitive individuals, leading to the release of mediators like histamine.

This immune response results in common allergy symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and inflammation.

Can cross-reactivity occur with allergies to other weeds similar to Poverty Weed?

Cross-Reactivity with Other Weeds

Allergens in Poverty Weed, a type of ragweed, can cross-react with other related weeds, notably other species of ragweed. This means that individuals allergic to Poverty Weed may also experience allergic reactions to these similar plants.

Cross-reactivity occurs due to shared protein structures in the pollen of different weeds, which the immune system mistakenly identifies as identical allergens.

Consultation with an allergist is recommended for accurate diagnosis and management of cross-reactive allergies.
