Mycotoxins
What Are Mycotoxins?
Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by certain types of molds (fungi) that grow on food and other organic materials. These toxins can cause a variety of adverse health effects, from acute poisoning to chronic conditions. Common sources include contaminated food (grains, nuts, dried fruits) and water-damaged buildings.
