I would look for a chemical answer. Perhaps his water supply has too much fluoride and it interacts with some additive in the water in which he soaks his reeds (wild guess). The most direct way would be to test the chemical residue on the blue reeds (if either of you know a good chemist), but this could easily be the most expensive way if the chemist won't do it for free (this is a job for a mass spectrometer - it will show the makeup of every molecule present).

Of course there is always the possibility that his mom CANNOT know of his habit of going to 7/11 for a Slurpy after school.
