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.

Key Symptoms of Vehicle Emissions Allergy

Watery Eyes

Exposure to vehicle emissions can lead to eye irritation, resulting in excessive tearing or watery eyes.

Runny Nose

Inhalation of pollutants from vehicle exhaust can cause nasal irritation, leading to a persistent runny nose.

Scratchy Throat

The inhaled pollutants can also irritate the throat, causing a scratchy or sore feeling.

Coughing

Vehicle emissions can trigger coughing as the body attempts to clear irritants from the respiratory system.

Shortness of Breath

Breathing in emissions may lead to inflammation in the airway, causing difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath.

Headaches

Exposure to vehicle exhaust pollutants can lead to headaches due to the inhalation of toxic substances.

How to Recognize if You're Allergic to Vehicle Emissions

Recognizing if you have a Vehicle Emissions allergy involves observing symptoms that may occur specifically in environments with high vehicular pollution. Here's a guide to help you identify this type of allergy.

Observe When Symptoms Occur

Timing: Notice if symptoms worsen during or after exposure to traffic-congested areas or when traveling on busy roads.
Location: Symptoms may intensify in urban settings with heavy traffic compared to rural or suburban areas with lighter traffic.

Identify Common Symptoms

Respiratory Issues: Experiences of coughing, wheezing, or difficulty breathing after being near vehicle emissions.
Eye Irritation: Redness, itching, or watering of the eyes while in areas with dense vehicle pollution.
Nasal Symptoms: Runny nose or nasal congestion that occurs with exposure to vehicle exhaust.
Skin Reactions: Developing rashes or hives when exposed to polluted air from vehicle emissions.

Compare With Other Allergens

Controlled Environments: Feelings of relief in environments with filtered air, such as indoors with air purifiers, indicating allergy to outside vehicle emissions.
Seasonal vs. Constant: Unlike pollen allergies which are seasonal, vehicle emissions allergies may persist year-round in high traffic areas.

Seek Medical Confirmation

Allergy Testing: Consult an allergist for specific tests that might rule out other allergens and confirm sensitivity to vehicle emissions.
Symptom Diary: Maintain a log of your symptoms and the environment to help your healthcare provider with diagnosis.

Tips for Avoiding Vehicle Emissions Allergy

‍

Limit Exposure Time

Minimize the amount of time you spend in areas with heavy traffic or idling vehicles. Try to avoid rush hours or busy streets where the concentration of vehicle emissions is typically higher.

Utilize Air Purifiers

Install air purifiers in your home and car to help filter out pollutants. Air purifiers with HEPA filters can trap harmful particles and improve indoor air quality, providing relief from potential allergens.

Maintain Vehicle Ventilation

Ensure that your vehicle’s air conditioning system is properly maintained. Use the “recirculate” function to minimize the intake of outside air in high-traffic areas, reducing exposure to vehicle emissions inside your car.

Choose Alternative Routes

Select walking or biking paths that are away from major roads and highways. Opt for scenic routes with less traffic, which can significantly lower your exposure to vehicle pollutants while you commute or exercise.

Allergy FAQ

‍

Can vehicle emissions trigger allergies in children more than adults?

Impact of Vehicle Emissions on Allergies

Children are generally more susceptible to pollutants due to their developing respiratory systems and higher breathing rates relative to body size compared to adults.

Exposure to vehicle emissions can exacerbate respiratory conditions and trigger allergic reactions more significantly in children.

Vehicle emissions like nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter may aggravate conditions such as asthma or allergic rhinitis, which are more prevalent among children.

What components in vehicle emissions are likely to cause allergic reactions?

Components in Vehicle Emissions

**Particulate Matter (PM):** Tiny particles that can penetrate the respiratory system, potentially triggering allergies.

**Nitrogen Oxides (NOx):** Gases contributing to the formation of smog and acid rain, possibly exacerbating respiratory conditions.

**Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs):** Emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids, potentially causing allergic reactions.

**Sulfur Dioxide (SO2):** Irritant that can aggravate allergies, especially in those with sensitive respiratory systems.

Are electric vehicles less likely to contribute to allergy problems?

Electric Vehicles and Allergy Contribution

Electric vehicles (EVs) produce zero tailpipe emissions, significantly reducing pollutants like nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, which are known to trigger allergies and asthma.

By minimizing air pollution, EVs can contribute to a healthier environment and potentially lessen allergy-related issues for sensitive individuals.

While EVs themselves do not emit traditional exhaust, the overall impact on allergies also depends on the energy sources powering them, such as coal or renewable energy.
