Mycotoxins are a group of toxins produced by molds. While they can cause sickness and cancer, they are not potent enough to be used in biological warfare. Mycotoxins are extremely weak compared to biological warfare agents such as sarin and VX.

QNB usually is disseminated as an aerosol, and the primary route of absorption is through the respiratory system. Absorption also can occur through the skin or gastrointestinal tract. It is odorless.
