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.
