Did you grow up in Brazil, because in Brazil they are just called nuts.

CUT TO:
[CIA Hospital, Terzi's Office. Night. House bursts inside and speaks to Terzi.]
GREG HOUSE: You idiot.
SAMIRA TERZI: Who are you calling an idiot?
[House turns around to see Agent Smith sitting on the couch.]
GREG HOUSE: Whoever knew that John was stationed in Brazil, not Bolivia.
SAMIRA TERZI: Brazil?
GREG HOUSE: [turning to Smith] Well, then, I guess I'm talking to you, idiot.
AGENT SMITH: It's the same region. It's the same parasites, same diseases.
GREG HOUSE: But not the same language. In Bolivia, chestnuts are chestnuts. Brazil, on the other hand, it's castanhas-do-Pará, literally, "chestnuts from Pará". Because it would be stupid for people from Brazil to call them Brazil nuts!
AGENT SMITH: So he ate Brazil nuts. Big deal.
GREG HOUSE: No, he ate a lot of Brazil nuts. Which is a big deal, because they contain selenium.
[Terzi closes her eyes, understanding.]
GREG HOUSE: Which, in high doses, causes fatigue, vomiting, skin irritation, discharge from the fingernail beds, and hair loss. Any of that sounding familiar?
AGENT SMITH: Can you treat it?
GREG HOUSE: We've already started. Treatment's chelation, same as for radiation sickness. The only difference is it works a lot better on nut poisoning.
AGENT SMITH: So what's the problem?
SAMIRA TERZI: You're an idiot.
[House turns to her, to see who she called an idiot. She looks from Smith to House, confirming that Smith was the idiot. House looks back at Smith, who folds his arms, annoyed.]
