Infection usually enters the body wherever germs or bacteria can pass inside the body- for example through the mouth into the gastrointestinal tract, via the genitals- for example during sex, or by any area that is open to the environment. This includes places where the skin is broken, like cuts, and this is why it is important that these are kept clean and covered up.

What is toxin-mediation infection?

A toxin-mediated infection is caused when a living organism is consumed with food (as in the case of an infection). Once the organism is inside the human body, it produces a toxin that causes the illness. Toxin-mediated infection is different from an intoxication because the toxin is produced inside the human body. An example of an organism that causes this type of illness is Clostridium perfringens.
