The diet of monkeys can have an impact on their allergies, just like in humans. Not all monkeys will have the same food allergies, but there are certain food items that may generally worsen allergy symptoms in monkeys.

Highly Allergenic Foods

• Seafood: Some monkeys may have an allergic reaction to seafood, causing their symptoms to worsen.
• Nuts: Monkeys can also show an allergic reaction to nuts, especially peanuts. Peanut allergy is a common type of food allergy and can cause severe reactions.

Miscellaneous Foods

• Milks and Dairies: Certain monkeys might be lactose intolerant or have a cow's milk protein allergy, which can result in symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, and skin irritations.
• Processed Foods: Processed foods, including ones containing artificial additives and sweeteners, could trigger allergies in some monkeys.

Preventive Measures

• Customized Diet: It is crucial to provide a customized diet for monkeys, particularly those with known allergies, to prevent the exacerbation of symptoms.
• Regular Check-ups: Regular veterinary check-ups ensure the monkeys' allergies are under control and that their diet is working for them.

Monkeys, as with any animals, may have individual food sensitivities or allergies, so it's always important to monitor a monkey's diet closely and adjust it as needed based on the monkey's health needs and any adverse reactions.
