A number of animals use plants to, in effect, be their own doctors. Let’s look at a few examples of this now. As you might expect, monkeys are among the animal kingdom’s doctors. The white-faced capuchin monkey rubs itself with leaves from the piper plant. This not only repels lice and mosquitoes, but also protects the monkey against various kinds of bacteria and fungus infections! Likewise, the chimpanzees eat a lot of leaves which are high in cyanide, a deadly poison. Over time, the poison can build up in the body and make the monkey ill, or even die. But the monkeys counteract the effect of this by eating charcoal, and herbal plants. Thus the species can get the illness out of their bodies and comfort themselves. Also, by eating the leaves, they can eat a wider variety of food than they otherwise could.
