+# Allergies
+
+Given a person's allergy score, determine whether or not they're allergic to a given item, and their full list of allergies.
+
+An allergy test produces a single numeric score which contains the
+information about all the allergies the person has (that they were
+tested for).
+
+The list of items (and their value) that were tested are:
+
+* eggs (1)
+* peanuts (2)
+* shellfish (4)
+* strawberries (8)
+* tomatoes (16)
+* chocolate (32)
+* pollen (64)
+* cats (128)
+
+So if Tom is allergic to peanuts and chocolate, he gets a score of 34.
+
+Now, given just that score of 34, your program should be able to say:
+
+- Whether Tom is allergic to any one of those allergens listed above.
+- All the allergens Tom is allergic to.
+
+Note: a given score may include allergens **not** listed above (i.e.
+allergens that score 256, 512, 1024, etc.).  Your program should
+ignore those components of the score.  For example, if the allergy
+score is 257, your program should only report the eggs (1) allergy.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Make sure you have read the "Guides" section of the
+[C track][c-track] on the Exercism site. This covers
+the basic information on setting up the development environment expected
+by the exercises.
+
+## Passing the Tests
+
+Get the first test compiling, linking and passing by following the [three
+rules of test-driven development][3-tdd-rules].
+
+The included makefile can be used to create and run the tests using the `test`
+task.
+
+    make test
+
+Create just the functions you need to satisfy any compiler errors and get the
+test to fail. Then write just enough code to get the test to pass. Once you've
+done that, move onto the next test.
+
+As you progress through the tests, take the time to refactor your
+implementation for readability and expressiveness and then go on to the next
+test.
+
+Try to use standard C99 facilities in preference to writing your own
+low-level algorithms or facilities by hand.
