Introduction

HT-2 toxin is a potent, naturally occurring fungal toxin (mycotoxin) from the Fusarium mold, often found in contaminated grains like wheat, oats, and corn, and is a metabolite (breakdown product) of the even more well-known T-2 toxin, acting by inhibiting protein synthesis and damaging cells, posing significant risks to livestock and humans, causing issues like gastrointestinal distress, skin necrosis, and immunosuppression, leading to strict regulations for its presence in food.
