Answer :

Mycotoxins are most commonly found in peanuts and grains.

The acute symptoms in animals include liver, spleen and kidney damage and toxicity to the immune system. For humans, nausea, gastrointestinal disturbances and vomiting have been reported.This consistent inflammation from mycotoxins can lead to the following: Cytokines bind with cell receptors, which can increase clot formation and arterial blockage and affect function of the hypothalamus. This can result in headaches, muscle aches, unstable temperature, and difficulty concentrating.The foods most susceptible to aflatoxins include peanuts, corn, tree nuts such as Brazil nuts and pistachios, and some small grains such as rice. Aflatoxin M1 is also found in milk of cows that eat aflatoxin B1 contaminated crops.The liver is the primary target organ, with liver damage occurring when poultry, fish, rodents, and nonhuman primates are fed aflatoxin B1. There are substantial differences in species susceptibility.
