Nice to meet you.
Aged 23 to 27, the Squad is a new model for young adult food-allergic living. We manage 13 food allergies (including Celiac disease), along with all the other goodies--cat allergies, environmental stuff, wheezy lungs, dry skin, and a severe spider phobia (wait, that's just Hawkeye...).
Hawkeye
Avoids: dairy, egg, peanut, lentil, uncomfortable clothing choices.
Likes: dogs, explaining that the Midwest is better because--

Athena

Snake
Avoids: Dairy, egg, tree nuts, wearing Sounders gear to a Timbers game.
The best at: inventing games you have never heard of with regular household items
& Aspen
The only non-allergic member, she doesn't even LIVE here...but we love her anyway.
Avoids: bad hair days, haters, people who don't like her cat, Tug

So, what is Allergic House?
Born out of the need for roommates who understand the dangers of sharing kitchen sponges, Allergic House is a radical social experiment in improving the quality of life for people with allergies. Instead of minimizing our dietary restrictions, we're maximizing the positive effects they can have on our lives by building a community of like-minded folks.
With few resources available for food-allergic young adults, we're creating the resources and community we wish we had ourselves.
From tubing to accidentally melting a pot while trying to cook bacon...soon you will be able to watch it all.
From our kitchen to yours

The summer camp that started it all.
Nestled in the foothills of the Oregonian Cascades, the only overnight camp for kids with food allergies in North America creates worry-free memories for 150 campers each summer.

There is no Allergic House without Camp Blue Spruce, and there would be no Camp Blue Spruce without founder Louise Tippens and a host of other caring and enterprising parents, donors, and volunteers.
