One of the most common symptoms of an allergy to tomatoes is skin reactions. This can present as itching, redness, swelling, or hives. These symptoms can vary in intensity and may appear immediately or several hours after consuming tomatoes.
Oral allergy syndrome is also a common symptom. This is characterized by itching or tingling of the mouth, tongue, and throat soon after consuming tomatoes.
Abdominal pain is another symptom that people with a tomato allergy might experience. This includes stomach cramps, bloating, or upset stomach soon after eating tomatoes.
Some people also suffer from respiratory symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, runny nose, or difficulty in breathing due to an allergic reaction to tomatoes.
Although rare, some individuals might experience severe and potentially life-threatening allergy symptoms known as anaphylaxis. This includes difficulty in breathing, dizziness, rapid pulse, and loss of consciousness.
Nausea and vomiting are also potential symptoms of a tomato allergy, usually accompanied by other digestive symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Recognize the Symptoms of Tomato Allergy
Get Allergy Testing Done
If you observe the above symptoms, it is recommended to get an allergy test done. However, it's crucial to remember that only a healthcare provider can correctly diagnose a tomato allergy and any other type of allergies. Therefore, it's essential to consult them if you suspect you're allergic to tomatoes. Skin prick tests or blood tests can help identify specific allergens.
Recognize the Cross-Reactivity of Tomato Allergy
Notably, tomato allergies can be cross-reactive. This means if you are allergic to tomatoes, you might also react to foods that are biologically related to them. Other nightshade vegetables like bell peppers, potatoes, and eggplant might also trigger an allergic reaction. These reactions are due to the similarity in the protein structure of these foods.

If you have a tomato allergy, you should avoid consuming fresh tomatoes. Fresh tomatoes have the highest concentration of the allergen, while cooked tomatoes have less. However, it's still possible to react to cooked tomatoes if you have a severe allergy.
Often, products that we consume or use daily may contain tomato extracts or derivatives like tomato paste, tomato sauce, or lycopene (a pigment that gives tomatoes their red color). Always remember to read ingredient labels closely and thoroughly.
Many individuals who have a tomato allergy also have an allergic response to other nightshade plants like potatoes, eggplants, and peppers since they contain similar proteins. Also, latex-sensitive individuals might react to tomatoes because of their cross-reactivity.
If your tomato allergy causes severe reactions, you may wish to wear a medical alert bracelet. This bracelet can communicate your allergy to medical personnel in case of an emergency, which is especially important if your allergy causes anaphylaxis, a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction.

Understanding the Growth Cycle of Tomatoes in the U.S.
Tomatoes in the U.S. are typically planted in early spring after the final frost. The seeds are generally planted indoors six to eight weeks before they are ready to be transplanted outdoors. Tomatoes require warm weather to grow, so depending on local climates, the planting seasons may vary. For most of the U.S., however, the seedlings can be transferred to the garden in late spring or early summer, around late May or early June. Once planted outdoors, tomatoes typically take 50 to 100 days to mature, depending on the specific variety. Harvest can usually begin in mid-summer, continuing into the fall. By late October and November, the growing season is typically over as cold winter temperatures set in.

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.
