Toxins are not alive, they are just chemicals which hurt us. They can be made by bacteria among other things. The bacteria can be killed by sufficient heat, but not all toxins are destroyed by heat.
Yes. Bacteria do produce toxins. Usually gram positive bacteria produce exo-toxins and gram negative bacteria produce endo-toxins.
When antibiotics are given, most of the resident bacteria are killed. With fewer bacteria to compete with, the normally harmless Clostridia difficile grow rapidly and produce toxins.
Heating water to 82 degrees Celsius will reduce bacteria to a safe level, as this high temperature helps to kill bacteria. Soap can help to remove bacteria from surfaces, but it may not necessarily kill all bacteria present. Toxins may need specific treatments or processes to neutralize them and make them safe.
Bacteria produce toxins as a byproduct. They are formed when the bacteria produce energy for themselves by changing one substance into another, and in some cases, there are byproducts, some of which can be toxins.

No, toxins can vary greatly in their chemical structure, origin, and mechanism of action. Toxins can be produced by various sources, such as plants, animals, bacteria, and fungi, and can have different effects on the body depending on their specific properties.
Not all poisons are classified as toxins. A poison is any substance that can cause harm or death when introduced into the body, while a toxin specifically refers to a poison produced by living organisms, such as plants, animals, or bacteria. Therefore, while all toxins are poisons, not all poisons meet the criteria to be considered toxins, as some can be synthetic or inorganic substances.
