Toxin is a substance from a living cells of an organism that is poisonous that can make a bad reaction inside and out of the body and could kill the lives of many people if it had been ignored. And according to Miriam Webster Dictionary <a href="http://www.blogger.com/%28http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/toxin%29"><u style="color: blue;">(http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/toxin)</u></a>, they defined the word toxin as</span><span class="ssens" style="font-size: small;"> "a poisonous substance that is a specific product of the metabolic activities of a living organism and is usually very unstable, notably toxic when introduced into the tissues, and typically capable of inducing antibody formation." </span><br />

-a toxin that, of course, found in many different types of animals that having a bacterial substance or fluid that is poisonous and resembling in its antigenic properties. There are many different animal toxins that can be classified. And as stated in <a href="http://library.thinkquest.org/C007974/4cla.htm"><span style="color: blue;">Oracle ThinkQuest Education Foundation</span></a>, the different classes are written at the table below:<br />
