Definition: A toxin is a poisonous substance that can cause harm to living organisms. It can be any type of poison or toxicant. In medical terms, it refers to a diffusible alkaloidal substance that can cause harm to the body. This includes poisonous products of disease-producing bacteria, such as ptomaines, abrin, brucin, or serpent venoms.

Examples:

  • Botulinum toxin - a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum that can cause paralysis.
  • Tetrodotoxin - a toxin found in pufferfish that can cause paralysis and death.
  • Ricin - a toxin found in castor beans that can cause organ failure and death.

Botulinum toxin is produced by bacteria, tetrodotoxin is found in a specific type of fish, and ricin is found in a plant. All of these toxins can cause serious harm to the body and can even be deadly.
