OTOH, in "Blukic and Driba Go to Mr. Smoothy's" Way Big claims to be allergic to peanuts - though it's not sure if that applies only to Way Big. His allergy should effects all Ben's aliens. The Omnitrix merges with the users DNA so since Ben is allergic to peanuts, so are all his aliens. Its kinda like how in the episode "Side Effects" when Ben had the cold, all of his aliens were effect by it as well. Well actually no, it doesn't mere Ben's DNA, the omnitrix simply changes Ben's DNA to that of an alien, this is the simplest explanation. If we broaden it then, the Omnitrix process the Alien DNA and reconstruct it to match Ben's DNA (to retain some of Ben's characteristics) it doesn't merge them. With this process the Ben is not tranformed into an exact copy of the DNA source, it is simply a reconstructed version based on Ben's DNA structure.

Allergies, may or may not affect his aliens, this depends cause he gets a different body. An example is diamondhead. I doubt he'd be allergic to peanuts. Allergies affects the mind though, so even in Way Big form, if Ben sees a peanut, he can still claim that he is allergic to peanuts as he is in factallergic, but it does not mean he is allergic to peanuts in his alien form.
