Biotoxin illness is an umbrella term that refers to illness caused when a person is exposed to neurotoxins from biological organisms in their environment. It is an environmentally acquired illness most commonly caused by mold growth in water damaged buildings. Common symptoms include fatigue, headaches, muscle or joint pain, brain fog, and more.
