Subject 241-F showed no apparent ill effects from preparing seven different dishes from SCP-241 in quick succession. Recommend retaining subject to study long-term effects of secondary (i.e. not as the Target) exposure to SCP-241.
Test 241-13, β–ˆβ–ˆ/β–ˆβ–ˆ/20β–ˆβ–ˆ
Subject: Subject 241-G was chosen from general population and is known to have an allergy to peanuts.
Procedure: Subject was instructed to eat the remaining cake from Test 241-11.
Results: Subject asked if the cake contained peanuts, and was assured that it did not. Subject stated that he didn’t much like carrot cake, and was told [DATA EXPUNGED]. Subject started eating the cake, remarking that the cake was β€œpretty good, actually”. Subject consumed approximately 75% of the remaining cake before declaring satiation. After seven minutes, subject started showing signs of anaphylactic shock. Epinephrine was administered, and subject was stabilized. Subject eventually recovered, although recovery time was somewhat longer than expected.
Analysis: It appears that, although the recipes from SCP-241 are potentially hazardous to anyone susceptible to the allergen in question, SCP-241’s recipes are most potent against the Target. Results from Tests 241-12 and 241-13 are encouraging to [DATA EXPUNGED] for [DATA EXPUNGED].
Test 241-14, β–ˆβ–ˆ/β–ˆβ–ˆ/20β–ˆβ–ˆ
Subject: Subject 241-H was chosen from general population. According to complete health screenings, subject has no food allergies.
Procedure: Subject was instructed to open SCP-241 and leave it open for analysis.
Results: Analysis of SCP-241 showed that 79 of the recipes on its pages called for chicken eggs or egg-based products. 15 of the remaining recipes called for eggs from [DATA EXPUNGED]. The other five recipes [DATA EXPUNGED]. These five recipes were transcribed by [DATA EXPUNGED] and turned over to [DATA EXPUNGED].
Subject 241-H stated that she had never experienced any problems eating eggs before. Subject was presented with one dozen hard-boiled chicken eggs and was instructed to eat them. Subject asked for salt and pepper (granted), and proceeded to eat the eggs. While eating the third egg, subject started complaining of stomach pain. Subject was instructed to continue eating, and she begrudgingly continued.
Upon ingesting her seventh egg, subject collapsed on the floor, doubled over in pain. Within 60 seconds, subject started showing signs of anaphylactic shock. Epinephrine was administered, and subject was stabilized. Subject recovered, within the expected recovery time for such an episode.
Analysis: We now have evidence that SCP-241 somehow induces or amplifies an allergy in the Target when SCP-241 is opened. This ability would explain how SCP-241 is able to cause an allergic reaction in Targets without pre-existing food allergies.

Addendum 3: Notes from Crosstesting:
To determine the effects of SCP-241's recipes on subjects that either cannot eat or do not require sustenance, approval was given to crosstest SCP-241 on SCP-1770. Upon subject opening the book, the contents were identical to before it was closed previously. This confirms results of Test 241-23 in which SCP-241 does not respond to inorganic subjects.

[ Title: SCP-242 is a swimming pool approximately 4.; Genre: Scientific; Tags: 3rdperson; Style: Dark ]
***
Item #: SCP-242
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-242 is kept at a home located in β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ, NM procured by the Foundation on β–ˆβ–ˆ/β–ˆβ–ˆ/β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ. The original owner was an out of state landlord who had problems keeping it rented. After retiring, he moved there, but disappeared after three days.
The home is unremarkable and is inhabited by Dr. β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ and Dr. β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ who pose as a married couple with no children. The backyard is defined along its perimeter with a cinder block wall approximately 2Β m high in accordance with the homes in the general vicinity. The pool is monitored at all times by a single Level 1 guard who also covers as the couple's live-in cook (human monitoring was added after Incident 242-1). Swimming or wading in the pool is strongly discouraged and any access to the pool by anyone other than Class D personnel for experimental reasons is forbidden.
Description: SCP-242 is a swimming pool approximately 4.5Β m wide by 9Β m long with a depth ranging from 1Β m deep on both ends to 1.5Β m deep in the center and a total volume of approximately 53,000 liters. It has a dual waterfall feature, an in-pool vacuum unit, and stairs on one end.
Any substance when placed into the pool will eventually be transmuted into sterile water which will remain sterile even after being removed from SCP-242 and introduced to a non-sterile environment. A sample taken from SCP-242 and poured into a container of water that had been tinted with red food coloring did not mix, but rather stayed together as a non-miscible bubble. Subsequent examination of samples shows them to be nothing more than pure, sterile water.
The length of time required for the transmutation to complete is dependent on the nature of the substance placed into SCP-242. Ordinary river water sampled from β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ, NM was completely sterilized in 7 minutes. Stagnant pond water taken from β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ, NM was sterilized in 18 minutes. 50,000 liters of coal tar was converted over the course of 12 days.
While the pool contains nothing but sterile water, there is no apparent action of any of the features of the pool. Once a non-water substance is placed into the pool, the water jets and waterfall will come on even if disconnected from any power source. The pool vacuum, if attached, will also activate and drive around the bottom of the pool even through extremely viscous liquids. There is no cycling of water into or out of the filtration system. Pipes leading to the filtration system have been completely removed and shown to be empty and dry while pool contents were being sterilized.

Addendum:
Incident 242-1: On β–ˆβ–ˆ/β–ˆβ–ˆ/β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ, during a time when the home was vacant but being monitored by a hidden video camera, a man and woman, apparently in their early 20's scaled the rear wall and gained access to SCP-242. They proceeded to undress, and go swimming along with two vinyl inflatable rafts acquired from the shed in the backyard. After the water jets came on, the female was startled and indicated she wanted to leave. The male claimed that it was just the automatic timer coming on to clean the pool, and "there was nothing to worry about". The couple continued to swim and engaged in intimate activities.
24 minutes after the jets started, the female was heard to say that the water was "really warm" and made her feel "tingly". The male agreed, and they both climbed onto their respective rafts and fell asleep holding hands.
29 minutes after the jets started, both of the rafts popped within 4 seconds of each other and the couple was again immersed completely in the water. At this time, significant frothing of the water began with a deep red color being given off from the subjects' locations. Subjects were heard to scream loudly and both attempted to exit the pool. Before exit was possible, the couple went under the surface, the frothing stopped and the pool went from red to clear approximately 48 seconds later. The decision was made to institute a live guard at the pool.
After two weeks, a story was leaked to the press that the couple had eloped to an unknown location somewhere in Mexico.

Status: Approved (β–ˆβ–ˆ/β–ˆβ–ˆ/20β–ˆβ–ˆ; Drs. β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ and β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ)
Results: Transcript attached for review. Contact Dr. β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ for a full Lab Report.
Dr. β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ: Alright, once you've entered the dive suit, we'll lower you into the pool. All you need to do is take a drink from the metal straw by your mouth when instructed to do so.
Test Subject A: Uhhh, I can't see out of this thing. Shouldn't there be glass here? Why is it all metal?
Dr. β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ: That's classified. Just get into the dive suit please.
<sound of overhead crane followed by a loud splash>
Dr. β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ: Is the barrel full yet?
Test Subject B: Yep. All full.
Dr. β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ: Good. Remove the siphon and get into the other dive suit. You will not be placed into the pool. Just drink from the metal straw fed from the barrel when instructed to do so.
Test Subject B: So if I ain't going in the pool, why am I getting into that thing?
Dr. β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ: <sighs> Again, that is classified. We went over this in the debrief. Just do as instructed please.
<mechanical sounds>
Test Subject B: Damn it's dark in here. There's no light? How will I find the straw when I…oh…there it is.
