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 Strawberry Tomato pollen Allergy

Nasal Congestion

Nasal congestion or a "stuffy" nose is a common symptom of strawberry tomato pollen allergy. This results from inflammation in the nasal passages, causing difficulty in breathing through the nose.

Sneezing

Repeated bouts of sneezing may also be a sign of a pollen allergy, triggered by the immune system's overreaction to strawberry tomato pollen in the air.

Itchy or Watery Eyes

Exposure to this specific pollen can lead to itchy or watery eyes, a condition medically known as allergic conjunctivitis, where the eyes react with irritation to the allergen.

Skin Rashes

Some individuals might develop skin rashes or hives as an allergic reaction to strawberry tomato pollen. These rashes can be itchy, painful and red in appearance due to inflammation.

Shortness of Breath

In more severe cases, a strawberry tomato pollen allergy can lead to shortness of breath. This is a result of airways becoming inflamed and narrowed in response to the allergen.

Coughing

Persistent coughing can also be an indicator of an allergic reaction to strawberry tomato pollen. The coughing is an attempt by the body to remove the irritant from the respiratory system.

How to Recognize if You're Allergic to Strawberry Tomato pollen

In order to determine if you have a Strawberry Tomato pollen allergy, you need to understand the signs and symptoms of this condition. Here's a guide to help you do that:

Identify Allergic Reaction

Rashes: Those with an allergy to Strawberry Tomato pollen may develop rashes or hives on their skin. These can be red, blotchy and very itchy.
Swollen lips, tongue, eyes or face: Swelling of certain parts of the body especially the face is another symptom associated with this allergy.

Recognize Internal Discomfort

Upset stomach: People allergic to Strawberry Tomato pollen may experience digestive issues such as nausea or diarrhea after being exposed to the substance.
Shallow breathing or wheezing: Allergies can cause respiratory issues, and this allergy is no different. If you notice problems with your breathing, it might be a result of a Strawberry Tomato pollen allergy.

Seek Allergy Testing

If you've noticed these symptoms, especially after being exposed to strawberry tomatoes, you need to visit an allergist for testing. Doctors can conduct skin prick tests or blood tests to confirm whether your symptoms are a result of an allergy to this type of pollen.

Note Severity and Frequency

If your symptoms are severe or occur often after coming into contact with strawberry tomatoes, this is a strong indicator that you might be allergic to its pollen.

Tips for Avoiding Strawberry Tomato pollen Allergy

‍

Avoid deep breathing near plants

Try to not breathe deeply when you are near strawberry or tomato plants, especially on days when the pollen count is high. Deep breathing can allow more pollen to enter your lungs and trigger an allergic reaction.

Use air conditioners and air purifiers

Use air conditioners and air purifiers in your home to filter out allergens. Keep windows and doors closed to prevent pollen from entering your home. This can help to greatly decrease your exposure to strawberry and tomato plant pollen.

Shower after outdoor activities

After spending time outdoors, especially in a garden or doing yard work, take a shower, wash your hair, and change your clothes to remove any pollen that may have landed on you.

Consult with a healthcare provider

If avoidance measures do not reduce your allergy symptoms, consult with a healthcare provider or allergist. They might be able to prescribe medications or give you immunotherapy treatments to build up a tolerance to the allergens that cause your symptoms.

Diet to Ease Strawberry Tomato pollen Allergy Symptoms

Adopt a Balanced Diet

Begin by incorporating a balanced diet into your everyday routine. Consuming a mix of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats can support the immune system and reduce inflammation.

Increase Consumption of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Fatty Fish: Consuming fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines can provide you with necessary Omega-3 fatty acids that may work to decrease inflammation caused by allergic reactions.
Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, walnuts, flax seeds, and chia seeds are other plant-based sources of Omega-3 fatty acids.

Include Probiotics in Your Diet

Adding probiotics, commonly found in fermented foods can help in easing allergic reactions. Probiotics are known to help balance gut bacteria, which may in turn help regulate the immune response to allergens.

Yogurt: A great source of probiotics.
Fermented Vegetables: Foods such as sauerkraut or kimchi can be integrated into your diet for their probiotic benefits.

Consume Quercetin-Rich Foods

Quercetin is a natural bioflavonoid that stabilizes mast cells and helps keep them from releasing histamine. It can be found in:

Citrus fruits: Including oranges and grapefruits.
Onions & Garlic: Additionally, they also have anti-inflammatory properties that might help reduce allergy symptoms.

Stay Hydrated

Stay well-hydrated as proper hydration can thin the mucus in your nasal passages and decrease the pressure in your sinuses, which can reduce the symptoms of allergies.

What Food Worsens Strawberry Tomato pollen Allergy

If you suffer from a Strawberry Tomato pollen allergy, certain foods may exacerbate your symptoms. These foods may cause what is known as Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS), which occurs when proteins in certain fruits and vegetables mimic those in pollen, leading to an allergic reaction.

Foods to Avoid

Tomatoes: Since the allergy is specific to Strawberry Tomato pollen, it's logical to avoid tomatoes and products containing them.
Strawberries: Similar to tomatoes, strawberries may worsen the symptoms.
Almonds: Almonds can worsen symptoms for some people allergic to birch pollen, which is structurally associated with strawberry tomato pollen.
Peaches: The proteins in peaches are also similar to those in many types of pollen, triggering reactions in some individuals.
Apples, Carrots, and Celery: These may also cause cross-reactivity in those with various pollen allergies.
Spices: Some spices like fenugreek, coriander, fennel, and garlic can trigger OAS symptoms in individuals allergic to certain pollens.

Note that cooking these foods may alter their proteins enough to avoid triggering an allergic reaction. Always consult with an allergist or dietician before making changes to your diet.

Allergy FAQ

‍

What are the unique proteins in Strawberry Tomato pollen that trigger allergic reactions?

Unique Proteins in Strawberry Tomato Pollen

Strawberry Tomato pollen contains specific proteins, primarily profile-like proteins, which are highly homologous to proteins in other allergenic plants.
These proteins can cause cross-reactivity with similar proteins found in other fruits and vegetables, leading to allergic reactions.
The main allergens identified in strawberry tomato pollen include thaumatin-like proteins and lipid transfer proteins (LTPs), both known for eliciting immune responses in sensitive individuals.

How does the pollen structure of Strawberry Tomato differ from other nightshades in its allergenic potential?

Allergenic Differences in Pollen Structure

Strawberry Tomato pollen grains tend to have a unique surface texture and protein composition compared to other nightshade species, possibly enhancing their allergenic potential.

The size and shape of these pollen grains may facilitate better dispersion, increasing exposure risk to sensitive individuals.

Distinct biochemical profiles, including specific allergens not found in other nightshades, can trigger stronger immune responses in some people.

What cross-reactivities exist between Strawberry Tomato pollen and other plant allergens?

Strawberry Tomato Pollen Cross-Reactivities

Strawberry Tomato, also known as Physalis, may exhibit cross-reactivity with other members of the Solanaceae family due to similar protein structures.

Pollen from plants like potato or tomato can cause similar allergic reactions.

People sensitive to birch pollen might experience oral allergy syndrome due to cross-reactive proteins in fruits and vegetables, potentially including Strawberry Tomato.

Paprika or peppers, being in the same family, may also show reactivity.
