Curex does not treat this allergen

One of the major symptoms of Pyemotes tritici allergy is intense itching. This is due to the body's reaction to the mite's bite and the subsequent histamine release within the skin.
In response to the bite, a person's skin may swell dramatically. This inflammation can be localized to the site of the bite or more widespread.
A red, often bumpy rash frequently develops around the area where the person was bitten. This is another typical inflammatory reaction to the mite's bite.
Some people may experience pain or discomfort in the area of the bite. This symptom varies greatly from person to person.
Blisters or vesicles can form as a response to the allergic reaction. They often form at the site of the bite and can potentially cause granulomatous reactions.
In more severe cases, people may experience flu-like symptoms, such as fatigue and fever. This is due to the body's overall immune response to the allergen.

Identifying Pyemotes Tritici Allergy Symptoms
The Pyemotes tritici, also known as the straw itch mite, is known to cause dermatitis in humans and may result in an allergic reaction. Common symptoms of an allergy to Pyemotes tritici include:
Confirming a Pyemotes Tritici Allergy
Determining whether it is specifically a Pyemotes tritici allergy can be challenging. However, there are few characteristics that these mite bites often have:
Consult a Medical Professional
If you suspect you have an allergy to Pyemotes tritici, it is important to consult a medical professional. They may be able to confirm the allergy through skin tests, blood tests, or by ruling out other possible causes of the symptoms.
Avoid Exposure
The best way to prevent a reaction to Pyemotes tritici is to avoid exposure. This can be done by wearing protective clothing when handling straw or grain, and by promptly washing any skin that comes into contact with potentially infested materials.

Try to avoid fields, barns, or any areas known to have straw itch mites (Pyemotes tritici). These insects often inhabit grain or straw stacks. Staying away from potential habitats can help to prevent allergic reactions.
When working in areas that may have straw itch mites, it's essential to wear protective clothing such as gloves, long sleeves, and long pants. This can prevent the mites from coming into contact with your skin and triggering an allergic reaction.
Regular cleaning and proper pest control measures should be practiced to prevent an infestation of straw itch mites. This can include routine cleaning of barns or other storage areas, as well as professional pest control treatments if needed.
If you suspect you have been bitten or are experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction, seek immediate medical attention. Early treatment can help to alleviate symptoms and prevent severe allergic reactions.

Pyemotes tritici, commonly known as the Straw Itch Mite, does not have a specific growing season as it is not a plant or organism that grows. However, their activity, reproduction, and infestations generally peak during warmer months, particularly in summer and fall, as they thrive in warmer conditions.
Peak Activity in Warm Months
Their activity and the risk of infestations decrease during colder months, i.e., winter and early spring, due to lower temperatures. It's important to note that indoor infestations may occur year-round due to controlled heating conditions.

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.
