Toxin |
 |
This is a poison. Within the scientific community, it is the term used specifically to refer to poisonous substances that are produced by living organisms, whether animals, plants, or bacteria. Botulism, a bacterial toxin, is one example. People commonly use the term, however, as a catchall for all poisonous substances-naturally occurring and man-made. |
