Most biological toxins are poisonous substances produced by a very wide range of living organisms which include flowering plants, bacteria and fungi. These toxins are completely natural and differ greatly from chemical agents. Toxins that occur naturally include oxalic acid which is found in rhubarb leaves and celery tops.

This acid is essential for calcium formation in smaller doses. Fungi like wild mushrooms may contain toxins that cause hallucinations and even death. Toxic moulds found in cool rooms are thought to cause illness including shortness of breath, muscle aches and rashes.

In addition, some people are just naturally intolerant to some foods and the substances found in them. For example, foods that are laden with histamine can cause symptoms such as sneezing and shortness of breath. Some studies have shown that avoiding foods like cheese and alcoholic beverages like wine results in a reduced complaint intensity. For people with food allergies, a number of foods can cause shortness of breath. If not treated correctly and in a timely manner, a food allergy can be life-threatening. Any food reaction that causes shortness of breath, dizziness or fainting requires immediate evaluation and treatment in a medical emergency department. You must consult your doctor and determine what foods and food toxins you are allergic to.
