First, Patrick had Nigel try some cucumbers. 

Nigel took a bite, then sneezed. 

"Nigel! You're allergic to cucumbers! Just like me" Paris squealed.

"But... there weren't any cucumbers in the apartment building yesterday" said Patrick.

"Or in the lounge this morning" said Paris.

"Fine. Try the mud next" said Mr DeFranko.

"How would I be allergic to mud?" said Nigel.

"I'm just trying to help ya" said Mr DeFranko.

Nigel dipped his finger in the plate of mud and sneezed.

"Oh dear. It must be the mud" said Patrick.

"But there wasn't any mud in the lounge this morning" said Paris.

"I hope not. My janitors are better than that" said Mr DeFranko.

They tried every sample on the table, and Nigel sneezed at all of them. 

The last sample Patrick tried to give him was the plate of cookies. 

"No! I don't want to try it" Nigel panicked.

"Nigel, isn't it good to know everything you're allergic to?" said Patrick.

"Not if it's cookies" Nigel cried. 

Then he sneezed before he could even try a cookie. "Oh dear..." he groaned. 

"You didn't even eat one. You must really be allergic to them" said Patrick. 

Milt came in to find the boys.

"Hey, fellas. I thought you'd be in the lounge" he said.

"Hi, Mr B. We had a little problem up there" said Paris.

"Yeah. Now they're in my office performing Snow White. I, of course, am playing the part of Prince Charming" said Mr DeFranko.

He pointed at Nigel saying, "And you've already met Sneezy."

"That's the real reason we're here, Mr Barnhill. We're trying to figure out what's making me sneeze" said Nigel.

"Yeah. And everything Patrick gives him makes him sneeze" said Paris. 

"Hmm. Lemme try something. Step back, Patrick" said Milt. 

Then he handed Nigel the cookies and he didn't sneeze. 

They tried every sample again and Nigel didn't sneeze at any of them.

"Well?" said Paris.

"No sneezing. I don't understand" said Nigel.

"I bet I do. Nigel. You're allergic to... Patrick!" Milt announced.
