While at the hospital, Dr. Kingsbury explains to Binky that the butterfly didn't cause the allergic reaction and adds that Binky's also not allergic to pollen or pet dander, much to Binky's relief. However, Dr. Kingsbury notes that Binky's blood test revealed that he's allergic to peanuts, which worries Mrs. Barnes. Binky doesn't think it's a big deal, pointing out to his mom that he doesn't even like peanuts. But both Mrs. Barnes and Dr. Kingsbury explain that food allergies can be quite serious and that if Binky were to ever ingest something that had peanuts or peanut products, he could suffer from anaphylaxis. When it becomes apparent that Binky doesn't know what anaphylaxis is, his mom and Dr. Kingsbury explain that it's an acute reaction that some people suffer from if they're allergic to certain types of foods, and that it's much more dangerous than something as simple as a rash, as anaphylaxis can cause difficulty in swallowing or even breathing. Before Binky and his mom leave, the doctor gives them some special brochures with information on peanut allergies. | While at the hospital, Dr. Kingsbury explains to Binky that the butterfly didn't cause the allergic reaction and adds that Binky's also not allergic to pollen or pet dander, much to Binky's relief.

Later, while grocery shopping, Mrs. Barnes explains to Binky that because of his newfound allergy, they have to be extremely careful about the food they buy and eat, as there are lots of foods that can have peanuts or peanut products in them (such as a can of chili that Mrs. Barnes was looking at being revealed to have peanut oil as one of its ingredients). At dinner, Binky's mom is revealed to have made chicken cutlets—Binky's surprised by this and points out to his parents that they've always gotten Chinese food on Friday nights. Mrs. Barnes explains that a lot of Chinese food is made with various types of peanut products, and both she and Binky's dad note that it's better to be safe than sorry. Binky's kind of upset about this, but eats the cutlet anyway (which he admits is very good). However, Binky gets mad when his parents suggest he sit at a different table from his friends in the case they have food with peanuts or peanut products in them. | Later, while grocery shopping with his mom, Mrs. Barnes explains to Binky that because of his newfound allergy, they have to be extremely careful about the food they buy and eat, as there are lots of foods that can have peanuts or peanut products in them (such as a can of chili that Mrs. Barnes was looking at being revealed to have peanut oil as one of its ingredients).

That night, Binky has a dream that all the school lunch somehow has peanuts in it, for ridiculous reasons (including milk from a cow <u>named</u> Peanut). The dream continues, with Mrs. MacGrady putting him at a table just for kids with allergies and showing him the other kids there: Adam, who has to wear a space suit because of his allergy to Formica, and Ron and Don, who're allergic to their hands and utensils, so they have to eat from a wooden trough. She then serves Binky some Brussels sprouts, saying he will be eating them every day for the rest of his life. Binky, who doesn't like Brussels sprouts, screams “No!”, and the dream ends. The next day, Binky's mom gives him his very own cell phone in case of emergencies. | That night, Binky has a dream that all the school lunch somehow has peanuts in it, for ridiculous reasons (including milk from a cow <u>named</u> Peanut).
