We ran extensive blood tests, brain scans, bone marrow tests, and biopsies on every single organ, but we didn't find anything. So we did only test left: using a oujia board to commune with the ghost of Tony Hawk. Unfortunately, this required a blood sacrifice, but it's worth it for the advancement of medical science (RIP evil Taub)! Anyway, the ghost of Tony Hawk told us that the patient accidentally angered a Romanian witch by walking on her allium garden, so she cursed him with the Balkan seven day allium-trampling revenge curse. In seven days, the patient will begin coughing, and then after seven more days, they will sprout onions and garlics from the ears and then die. There is no cure, but you can possibly convince the witch to lift the curse if you apologize for walking on her vege garden and gift her the pickled skull of vampire in a large jar of moth juice.
