Odontogenic tumors are any kind of abnormal growth in and around the jaw and teeth. 1  Many of these tumors are considered to be benign.  In unusual cases, odontogenic tumors are malignant, meaning they are likely to spread.
What are foodborne toxins? Foodborne toxins are toxins that are found in different foods that can cause illness when they are consumed. Some are naturally occurring toxins that are found in certain foods, and others are produced by bacteria that have contaminated a food item.
1 Toxin in a food means that the product, if consumed without thorough heating, could cause botulism. 2  Viable C. botulinum but no toxin in foods is not proof that the food in question caused botulism. 3  The presence of toxin in food is required for an outbreak of botulism to occur. If the food is a solid or semi-solid, the toxin must be extracted. 2  An equal amount of food (20 g) and casein buffer (20 mL) are mixed by grinding with a mortar and pestle or by other means to mix the food and buffer.
