Instant death toxin?
There is no known instant death toxin that works immediately upon contact or ingestion. Most toxins and poisons may take time to affect an individual's health, and the outcome could vary depending on factors like the type of toxin, quantity, and the individual's health. In case of suspected toxin exposure, immediate medical attention is crucial for proper treatment and management.
What is Toxin mediated 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.
Some micro-organisms can produce a poison known as a?
toxin
Are there toxic proteins in vegetables?
Some proteins can indeed be toxic. However, note that it is rare for a protein to be toxic.Yes pathogens produce and secrete toxic proteins to invade their host. Bacterial toxin such as hemolysin A, neurotoxin, botulinum toxin, tetanus toxin, Shiga toxin are all proteins. They are strongly antigenic can elicit immune response.
How can you destroy botulin toxin?
Botulin toxin can be destroyed by heat, such as boiling water. Use of a pressure cooker or autoclave can also effectively destroy the toxin. It is important to ensure proper sterilization techniques are used to eliminate the risk of toxin exposure.
What is the correct treatment for the toxin Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B SEB?
Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B (SEB): Therapy is primarily supportive, with close attention to oxygenation and hydration. Diuretics, acetaminophen, and cough suppressants might be necessary
What toxin produces high fever non productive cough headache chills vomiting and diarrhea?
Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B, provide supportive care
Is staphylococcal toxic syndrome due to preformed toxin?
No.
What is preformed enterotoxin?
enterotoxins are toxins that target the intestines (entron). preformed enterotoxins (ex. cholera toxin) are formed in the bacteria prior to infection, ie. the toxin is being produced regardless of being in the human body or not.
What is the difference between enterotoxin and neurotoxin?
Enterotoxins are toxins that primarily affect the intestines, leading to symptoms like diarrhea and vomiting, whereas neurotoxins specifically target the nervous system, causing symptoms like paralysis, respiratory failure, or altered mental status. Enterotoxins are commonly associated with food poisoning, while neurotoxins are often produced by organisms such as bacteria or venomous animals.
What are some cold and hot resistant toxins?
When you say toxin, I am assuming you mean organic toxins from bacteria or viruses. In general toxins are not destroyed by cooling.On the other end, a high enough temperature can destroy any organic toxin; so, heat stability is a relative term that is reserved for those toxins that can remain active at temperatures where most other toxins would be irreversibly deactivated.Some examples of heat stable toxins are: enterotoxin from Staphylococcal enteritis, ciguatoxin-CTX1B from Gambierdiscus toxicus, and the antigen CD24 from B-lymphocytes.
How do the toxins produced by cholera cause diarrhoea?
vibrio cholerae produces cholera toxin which is an enterotoxin, whose action on the mucosal epithelium lining of the small intestine is responsible for the massive diarrhoea of the disease.
What is the treatment if my dog licks toxin off a frog?

What is the correct meaning of botax?

Can salmonella produce toxin?
Salmonella does not produce a toxin it invades the body though. Botulism does produce a toxin which can effect the nerves. Edit: Salmonella species are capable of producing a toxin, similar in structure and biological activity to the cholera toxin. Please don't post an answer unless you know it to be correct.
How is hemifacial spasm treated?
The mainstay of treatment is injection of botulinum toxin to the face, which results in temporary paralysis of selected muscles of facial expression. Botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox (Allergen Inc.), is a neuro-toxin.
What type of toxin is ciguatera toxin?
