"Snorkitis is Nothing to Sneeze At" is the first episode of Season 2. A snorkitis epidemic is taking place, and Dr. Gallio tries to find a cure. Unfortunately, he gets sick with the illness, so it's up to Allstar and Casey to find a cure for snorkitis.

Plot Summary[]

Allstar, Casey, and Tooter are playing snorkball. They lose it in the way of a Clamtrack train, but Tooter uses his snork to blow it back into play. The others go to Dimmy's house, but he and his parents are too sick to leave.

OhGOD

Dimmy

They feel it's just a 24 hour case of mild snorkitis, and Allstar knows his Uncle Gallio has been working on a cure for years.

Later on, Allstar and his friends are visiting Dr. Gallio at his lab. He tells them Snorkitis is a very serious illness, and that

it's very contagious. Tooter ends up getting it, and Gallio reminds them he's been working on a cure for 20 years, but is only one day away from finding it. He works on it overnight, but becomes so weak and exhausted. Allstar takes him to the governor so he can warn him about the epidemic that's going around Snorkland. Governor Wetworth believes it's just a common 24 hour cold, and has him go to Restful Reef with Nurse Rockbottom for a few night stay. It's now up to Allstar to find the cure.

The next day, Allstar and Casey are trying to read through Gallio's notes to find what's missing. The only problem is, they can't read his penmanship. They decide to pretend to work at the Relaxing Reef so they could secretly get Gallio to tell them his notes, but this fails. They got to the air bubbles in the experiment, and with the red stuff, a cure has been found. He first tests in on Allstar and Casey, along with himself, who got sick in the process. Then they go around Snorkland curing everyone. The Governor honors Gallio for finding the cure, but Junior gets the 24 hour snork cold and is sent to Restful Reef so Nurse Rockbottom could have some company.
