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.

Identify Wild Mustard

Learn to recognize the appearance of wild mustard plants, which are characterized by their bright yellow flowers and lobed leaves. Familiarize yourself with their growth patterns and common locations to avoid accidental contact or ingestion.

Avoid Contaminated Areas

Avoid walking or hiking in areas known to have wild mustard growth, especially during its flowering season. If you must enter these areas, wear protective clothing such as long sleeves and pants to minimize skin exposure.

Read Food Labels Carefully

Check food labels for ingredients that may contain mustard, as it could be present in sauces, dressings, or spice blends. Opt for alternatives that are clearly labeled as mustard-free to prevent allergic reactions.

Consult with a Professional

If you experience allergic symptoms, seek advice from a healthcare professional. They can provide insights into specific precautions, suggest allergy testing, and recommend treatment options to manage symptoms effectively.

Allergy FAQ

‍

Can Wild Mustard pollen cause cross-reactivity with other allergens?

Cross-Reactivity and Wild Mustard Pollen

Wild Mustard pollen belongs to the Brassicaceae family, and its allergens may cause cross-reactivity.

Cross-reactivity often occurs with other plants in the same family, like broccoli, cabbage, and kale.

Other common cross-reactants can include pollens from trees or weeds sharing similar protein structures.

Individuals with sensitivity to Wild Mustard should be mindful of potential reactions to these related plants and pollens.

What foods might trigger reactions in those allergic to Wild Mustard?

Foods That Might Trigger Reactions

**Direct Mustard Consumption**: Any food containing mustard seeds, mustard greens, or mustard oil should be avoided.
**Condiments and Dressings**: Mustard is a common ingredient in many condiments like sauces, salad dressings, and marinades.
**Processed Foods**: Be cautious of processed meats, pickles, and snack foods that may include mustard as a spice or flavoring agent.
**Cross-Contamination**: Watch out for foods prepared in environments where mustard is also processed, increasing risk of contamination.

How does one distinguish between Wild Mustard allergy and similar plant allergies?

Distinguishing Allergies

**Symptom Comparison**: Wild mustard allergy primarily causes skin reactions, such as contact dermatitis. Similar allergies may involve respiratory symptoms if pollen-related, helping differentiate between them.

**Allergen Exposure**: Identify exposure context; wild mustard is often found in fields and is mainly a contact allergen. Allergies to similar plants may occur in different environments.

**Testing**: Conduct skin tests specific to wild mustard allergens and related species to pinpoint the allergen source accurately.
