What are Mycotoxins?

Mycotoxins are poisonous substances. "Myco" means fungus, so think of mycotoxins as "fungi toxins." They are designed for chemical warfare against other organisms, even against other types of molds. Living molds may produce mycotoxins to discourage other molds or bacteria from growing in the same territory. Unfortunately, humans who inhale, ingest or touch mycotoxins may have a toxic reaction. Some mycotoxins have been shown to produce human health effects, while little is known about the possible harmful affects of some other mycotoxins.
