bacteria (plural of bacterium) produce poisonous substances called toxins. The toxin produced by clostridium tetani causes tetanus. hope this helps =)
The strongest poison is generally considered to be botulinum toxin, which is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is extremely potent and can cause severe paralysis and even death in small quantities.
One example of a poison produced by some pathogens that harms the body's cells is tetanus toxin. This toxin is produced by the bacterium Clostridium tetani and can cause muscle rigidity and spasms by interfering with neurotransmitter release.
Botulinum toxin is a form of a poison used by injecting it to the muscles to treat Dystonia, spacticity, and even wrinkles in the face.
This a great website with information about Clostridium Tetani - http://www.lcusd.net/lchs/mewoldsen/tetanus.htm Some of the main points include: They can multiply and produce a toxin that effects the nerves and controls the activity of muscles. Lockjaw occurs and is followed by general rigidity of the body, then muscle spasms occur throughout the body. Finally, death is caused by interference with muscles required for breathing. A much safer route would be to just get vaccinated. Alot of states offer free shots, so call around and find out where they are near you.
i think poison

Wolf's bane produces the poison aconitum. This poison was once used to kill wolves and bears. This plant is also called Monkshood.
Botulism is nothing but which can be defined as food poison caused by bacterias which are all growing on improperly sterilized tinned meats and other preserved foods.
Poison ivy produces an oil called urushiol. Urushiol is an irritant to the skin and other tissue. If you touch the plant you will get the urushiol on you. Even long dead poison ivy vines can still be coated with the oil.
Botox is made from a purified form of botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It works by blocking nerve signals in muscles, causing temporary muscle paralysis and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
The perfume Poison is produced by Dior. The award-winning perfume was first launched in 1985 by the house of Dior and it was created by Edouard Flechier.
Botulism results from the contamination of food by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, which releases toxic by-products as it grows anaerobically. Damaged or dented cans, or improper canning, can allow botulism to affect the food inside.
Botox is short for botulinum toxin, a poison created by a Clostridium botulinum, or the bacterium that causes botulism. It is the most toxic substance known to man. It is a protein, and thus made of the usual elements (carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and additionally sulfur).
Tetanus vaccine is a vaccine composed of inactivated tetanus toxins.This vaccine is immunogenic but not pathogenic and is used to prevent an individual from contracting tetanus. Tetanus, also known as lockjaw, is a disease caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani which enters the body through open wounds and releases a poison called tetanospasmin. This is a potentially deadly disease because the poison attacks the nervous system blocking nerve signals from the spinal cord to and from the muscles. However this disease is preventable through injecting multiple doses of vaccines and administering the recommended booster shot every ten years.
yes that is why it is called poison.
