Hey BlueSky! I'm Jemma, the creator of Allergy Resources. As an allergy parent & cat lover (of course we're allergic), I love composting despite my gardening fails; I love sci-fi and horror, mostly in book form; and I can't resist giving abandoned rabbits a loving home. Excited to connect with you!
