Food poisoning caused by a toxin occurs when a person ingests food contaminated with harmful substances produced by bacteria, molds, or other microorganisms. One well-known example is Staphylococcus aureus, which can produce toxins in improperly stored food, leading to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Unlike infections, where the pathogens themselves cause illness, toxin-related food poisoning results from the effects of the toxins, often requiring no live bacteria to be present in the food at the time of consumption. Proper food handling and storage are crucial to prevent such illnesses.
