antitoxin therapy

Antitoxin therapy involves using antibodies called antitoxins to neutralize a toxin produced by bacteria, such as in cases of tetanus or botulism. These antibodies are usually derived from animals or humans who have immunity, and they work by binding to the harmful toxin, preventing it from damaging the body. This treatment is most effective when given early, as it can stop the toxin from causing further harm. Antitoxin therapy is an important, targeted intervention that can significantly improve outcomes in toxin-related illnesses.
