MYCOTOXIN AND ENTEROTOXIN

Mycotoxins are chemically stable toxins excreted by Food /Fruit Crop fungi. These penetrate deep into food, survive food processing, and precipitate Cancers and Immune Deficiency in humans. Aflatoxin, a common Mycotoxin is Genotoxic [(DNA damage causative)] in nature. Codex Alimentarius Commission has set the maximum permissible level of Mycotoxins in Human Food.

Enterotoxin is a microorganism secreted exotoxin that targets the gastrointestinal system. This causes Type-A food poisoning, antibiotic associated diarrhea and other gastrointestinal diseases. Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus are the two most common organisms for enterotoxins and food poisoning in dogs and humans.

[Enterotoxin secreted by of the two most common microorganisms, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus causes Type-A food poisoning, antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, and other gastrointestinal diseases in dogs and humans.]
