A mycotoxin is a toxic secondary metabolite produced by organisms of kingdom Fungi and is capable of causing disease and death in both humans and other animals. The term 'mycotoxin' is usually reserved for the toxic chemical products produced by fungi that readily colonize crops.
Mycotoxins are also known as biotoxins since they are poisonous substances produced by living organisms. Mold toxicity occurs when mycotoxins affect a body adversely, leading to chronic symptoms.
Some common typed of mycotoxins include:
Aflatoxins
Ochratoxins
Trichothecenes
Of note, mycotoxins are considered carcinogenic and potentially deadly.
