Toxins are non-living
biological and chemical agents produced by living microorganisms from animals
and plants that can cause harm to humans, plants and animals. An example of
toxin is botulinum toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium, which is a
neurotoxic protein that prevents the release of the neurotransmitter
acetylcholine from axon endings at the neuromuscular junction and causes
flaccid paralysis.
Moreover, toxin are more
closely related to chemical warfare agents that can only affect those who are
exposed to the agent and that they are not considered as transmissible disease.
The circulatory system would fail, and the entire organism would suffer.
