Rhizopus allergy often presents itself as nasal congestion. Patients may have the feeling of a 'stuffy nose', difficulty in breathing, and experience obstruction in nasal passages caused by inflamed tissues and an abundance of mucus.
Due to sensitivity to Rhizopus, some patients may encounter severe respiratory distress. It can include shortness of breath and breathlessness, high-pitched breathing, or a feeling of tightness in the chest.
Skin reactions are common in Rhizopus allergies. Patients might observe red spots, inflammation, and itchiness of skin. Bumps, hives, or swelling may also occur on the skin.
Abdominal pain is another symptom of Rhizopus allergy. This discomfort can range from mild to severe. It usually presents as an ache in the belly area, and can also manifest in the form of bloating or cramps.
Patient may experience watery or teary eyes. This occurs when the body's immune system reacts to the fungus, leading to eye irritation and the production of excess tears.
Rhizopus allergy may lead to sinusitis, an inflammation, or swelling, of the tissue lining the sinuses. This could potentially lead to headache, facial pain, nasal congestion and reduction in the sense of smell.
Recognize your symptoms?

An allergy to Rhizopus, a common type of fungus, can manifest through a range of symptoms. Following this guide will assist you to identify if you have this specific allergy.
Symptoms of Rhizopus Allergy
Exposure To Rhizopus
Rhizopus is a type of mold that is often found in the soil, decaying fruits and vegetables, animal feces, and old bread. If you have been exposed to these environments and start showing the symptoms above, it is possible that you are allergic to Rhizopus.
Consult a Medical Professional
If you are experiencing the above symptoms after exposure to Rhizopus, seek medical advice. An allergist can conduct tests such as a skin prick test or a blood test to confirm if you are allergic to Rhizopus.

One of the best ways to prevent Rhizopus allergies is by regularly cleaning your house, especially damp areas such as the basement and bathroom. This fungus thrives in moist environments, making frequent and thorough cleaning a necessity. Regular vacuuming can help to remove any spores that may have settled on your carpets or upholstery.
Rhizopus fungus thrives in humid conditions. Thus, maintaining a low indoor humidity can greatly help in preventing their growth. Using dehumidifiers in damp rooms or areas that are susceptible to high humidity can keep the levels under control and create an undesirable habitat for the fungus to grow.
One method for avoiding Rhizopus allergy is to regularly check for and repair leaks in your home promptly. Water leaks from broken pipes or tap can create the damp conditions Rhizopus requires to thrive. Addressing these issues swiftly can prevent the growth of this fungus.
Rhizopus is a common mold that can grow on food, particularly on fruits and bread. Therefore, proper food storage is an essential aspect of preventing Rhizopus allergies. Always store food items in airtight containers and refrigerate them as required. Also, regularly checking and discarding spoiled food items can prevent mold growth and the subsequent spread of spores.

The allergen Rhizopus grows in the United States during the warmer months. This often falls within the late spring, summer, and early fall, ideally when the weather is warm and humid.
Identifying Rhizopus Growth Season
It's important to note that the growth of Rhizopus varies annually and largely depends on weather conditions. Any season with warm and moist conditions can encourage the growth of Rhizopus.

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.
