T-2 Toxin is a potent mycotoxin produced by certain species of Fusarium fungi, commonly found in contaminated grains and cereals. It belongs to the trichothecene group of mycotoxins and is known for its severe toxicity in humans and animals. T-2 Toxin can cause a range of acute and chronic effects, including skin irritation, gastrointestinal disturbances, immunosuppression, and, at high doses, potentially fatal outcomes. Its mechanism of action involves inhibition of protein synthesis and induction of oxidative stress. Due to its harmful effects, T-2 Toxin is a significant concern in food safety, requiring careful monitoring and control in agricultural products.
