Biochemical Effects of Topical Application and Decontamination of T-2 Toxin in Rats
Abstract
T-2 toxin is a mycotoxin - a natural product of Fusarium Fungi. It was used in the Indochina as a chemical warfare agent and certainly has a "terrorist" dimension. It is very complicated to treat; currently the best antidotes are corticosteroid hormones, compounds with significant adverse effects. These properties make T-2 toxin a very dangerous potential terrorist agent. This research describes our research in decontaminating T-2 on skin.
