I Wonder If The Doctor’s Allergies Reset When He Regenerates. We All Like To Make Fun Of The Celery

I wonder if the Doctor’s allergies reset when he regenerates. We all like to make fun of the celery stick on Five’s lapel, but it had a reason for being there. Five was allegedly allergic to an odorless, colorless gas in the presence of which the celery would turn purple, at which point the Doctor was suppose to eat the celery to counteract the effects—which he didn’t even know for sure would actually help him in that situation, but would either way at least be “good for the teeth.” To my knowledge, this was neither ever utilized in the show (though if it was, someone please tell me the episode, I wanna see it so bad) nor mentioned by any other Doctor. 

This means that either Timelords need to be tested for allergies once per regeneration, and the Doctor has been playing things real fast n’ loose these past five regeneration or so, or the Doctor is still allergic to this gas, and we need to see this play out. 

I would love it if we had some sort of lockdown episode, everyone is trapped inside a grocery store of some kind, power’s gone out, some sort of alien baddy is picking people off a la Silence in the Library, and just as things start to get intense the Doctor stands up, says that they know exactly what to do, everyone stay calm–and then the Doctor keels over. Everyone present freaks out. Camera pans to the side, we the viewers see that a nearby shelf of celery bundles has gone purple. 

For this to really work though, we would need to have someone from the Doctor’s past in the episode, ideally someone from Five’s time who might potentially have known that when celery turns purple, you best mash some up and shove it down the Doctor’s throat ASAP. Tegan, perhaps? She had one of the most emotionally charged departures from the Tardis in Classic Who history, it might be nice to see her reunited with the Doctor in the modern era. Maybe it’s her local grocery store? 

Far fetched, but honestly, I think we’ve seen ‘em do with worse plot lines.
