I recommend that you refrain from hosting people with such severe
multiple allergies, the risk is too great. If you must, make sure you
have a good personal liability "umbrella" insurance policy and a clear
landing area for the medivac heli.

I'm only half joking on this too, recall the recent death in Canada from
peanut allergy. At some point someone will be sued because they kissed
someone they knew to have a peanut allergy after having had a Snickers
bar earlier in the day.
