After a gnat bite, you may develop small, itchy red bumps that can sometimes swell up. These bumps are a result of an allergic reaction to the bite and are one of the most common symptoms of a gnat allergy.
In some people, the allergic reaction can be more severe, causing welts or hives to form. These are large, itchy bumps that can appear anywhere on the body. They usually go away on their own but can cause discomfort and may require treatment if severe.
Swelling is another common reaction to gnat bites. The site of the bite may swell up, causing redness and discomfort. This can get worse if the bite is scratched or if the person has a severe allergy.
In some cases, blisters filled with fluid can form at the site of the gnat bite. This usually indicates a more severe allergic reaction and requires medical attention to prevent infection and other complications.
If gnats fly into your eyes, they can cause allergic conjunctivitis. This condition is marked by red, itchy, and watery eyes, and can be accompanied by blurred vision and sensitivity to light.
For some people, gnat allergy can lead to respiratory problems. This is characterized by wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath, and may require immediate medical attention.

Gnats are attracted by scent, carbon dioxide, and heat released by humans. To avoid close contact, refrain from wearing scented lotions, perfumes, or aftershaves. Also, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants when outdoors to limit exposure to gnats, reducing the risk of having an allergic reaction.
Maintain cleanliness in your house to avoid attracting gnats. Regularly empty and clean your trash bins, never leave food uncovered, and make sure your fruits are always refrigerated or consumed before they overripe. Ensure that your windows and doors are properly sealed to prevent grouse of gnats.
The use of appropriate repellents can also help avoid gnat allergies. Most gnat repellents contain DEET, which is an effective substance against these pests. But if you're sensitive to DEET, you may opt for natural options like citronella or eucalyptus oil. Remember to apply repellent not only to your skin but also to your clothing.
If you know that you are allergic to gnat bites, it is crucial to have an over-the-counter antihistamine at hand. As with all allergies, severe reactions can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. Regular consultation with your doctor can provide more personal insights on how to handle your gnat allergy.

Gnats are insects, not allergens, and do not grow in the same sense that plants or fungi do. However, gnat populations do increase or decrease depending on the season and conditions. Gnat populations tend to peak in the U.S. during the warmer months, typically in the spring and summer seasons. This is when the temperatures and moisture levels become ideal for gnats to breed. During fall and winter, gnat populations tend to decline, due to colder temperatures and reduced food availability. The gnat growth cycle can be a nuisance, but it's essential to understand that gnats themselves are not an allergen.

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.
