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.

Chocolate fudge Recipe Troubleshooting

Why is my fudge not setting after cooling?

Possible Reasons Why Your Fudge Isn't Setting

Incorrect Temperature: Fudge requires a specific temperature to set properly. Ensure you're reaching the "soft ball" stage, which is between 234°F and 240°F (112°C to 116°C). Using a candy thermometer can help you achieve the right temperature.
Insufficient Cooling Time: Allow sufficient time for the fudge to cool and set. Depending on the thickness of your fudge, it might take longer than usual.
Improper Proportions: Ensure you're using the correct ratio of sugar, butter, and milk. Too much liquid or not enough sugar can prevent the fudge from setting.
Failure to Stir Properly: Stirring helps to dissolve sugar evenly and prevent graininess. Stir continuously while heating and also when cooling it down a bit before pouring it into the dish.
Weather Conditions: High humidity can affect the texture of your fudge. Try making fudge on a dry day or ensure good ventilation.
Type of Ingredients: Substitute ingredients like non-dairy milk might not allow fudge to set as a traditional recipe would. Double-check if your ingredients are suitable for fudgemaking.

What makes the fudge have a grainy texture?

What Makes Fudge Grainy?

Improper Sugar Dissolution: If sugar is not fully dissolved during the cooking process, it can crystallize, leading to a grainy texture.
Rapid Cooling: Allowing the fudge to cool too quickly can cause sugar crystals to form, making the texture grainy.
Stirring Too Soon: Stirring the mixture before it cools to the correct temperature can induce sugar crystallization.
Using the Wrong Sugar: Different sugars have various crystal sizes, and using the wrong type can affect the texture.

Why does the fudge taste overly sweet?

Why Does the Fudge Taste Overly Sweet?

Excessive Sweeteners: Using more sweetener than necessary, such as an extra measure of maple syrup, can make the fudge overly sweet.
Chocolate Choice: Selecting a chocolate that is not completely dark or is artificially sweetened can add extra sweetness to the fudge.
Imbalance of Ingredients: Missing a pinch of salt or using it sparingly without taste-testing can upset sweet-savory balance, making sweetness more pronounced.
Flavor Enhancements: Lack of vanilla extract or other bitter elements can result in a less balanced flavor profile, leading to an overly sweet sensation.

What causes fudge to separate when cooling?

Causes of Fudge Separation

Incorrect Heating: Fudge that is not heated properly may cause the ingredients to separate. It's essential to reach the correct temperature for proper sugar crystallization.
Rapid Temperature Changes: Cooling fudge too quickly can cause the butter and sugar to separate, leaving a greasy layer on top.
Excessive Stirring: Over-stirring can disrupt the desirable sugar crystals and lead to a grainy texture with separation.
Inaccurate Ingredient Ratios: Using the wrong proportions of sugar, fat, and liquid can cause the fudge to fail in combining smoothly.
Presence of Impurities: Water droplets or other impurities can affect the cooling process, leading to separation in the mixture.

Why is my fudge sticking to the parchment?

Reasons Your Fudge Might Stick to Parchment

Grease the Parchment: Ensure that the parchment paper is properly greased with a light coat of butter or non-stick spray. This helps to prevent any sticking, even though parchment paper is generally non-stick.
Type of Parchment: Some parchments are less effective at releasing sticky foods. Ensure you are using high-quality, non-stick parchment paper for baking.
Proper Cooling: Make sure your fudge is completely set and cooled before attempting to remove it from the parchment. Trying to remove it too soon might cause it to stick.
Thickness of Fudge: If the fudge is too thin, it may have more tendency to adhere to the paper. Ensure an even and adequate thickness when spreading it in the dish.

What makes the fudge lose its shiny finish?

Factors That Cause Fudge to Lose Its Shiny Finish

Overmixing: Stirring the fudge excessively while it cools can cause the sugar to crystallize improperly, leading to a dull appearance.
Cooling Too Quickly: Allowing the fudge to cool too quickly can prevent it from setting with a glossy finish.
Humidity Levels: High humidity in the kitchen can affect the texture and shine of the fudge.
Incorrect Temperatures: Not heating the mixture to the right temperature before cooling can result in a loss of glossiness.
