toxic organisms
Toxic organisms are living creatures that produce harmful substances called toxins. These toxins can cause illness or damage to other organisms when touched, ingested, or injected. Examples include certain bacteria that produce poisons leading to food poisoning, snakes that inject venom through bites, and fungi that release toxins causing disease. The toxins often target the nervous system, blood, or tissues, and their effects depend on the organism and the exposure. Understanding these organisms helps in preventing and treating their harmful effects, emphasizing the importance of caution and proper medical care when dealing with potential toxins.
