- Mycotoxin Information
- Fungi produce an array of chemical products known as secondary metabolites. Penicillin is an example of a secondary metabolite with medicinal applications. Unfortunately, not all secondary metabolites are as useful as penicillin. Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of fungal origin that are toxic to animals and humans. Disease that results from ingestion of mycotoxin-contaminated feed or food by animals or humans is called mycotoxicosis. Common examples of mycotoxicosis are mushroom poisoning and ergotism.
