what is the half-life of a toxin?

Question

the time it takes for a toxin to cause chronic toxicosis
the time it takes to create a toxin
the time it takes for a toxin to be eliminated from the body
the time it takes for a toxin to cause acute toxicosis

Answer 1

The half-life of a toxin refers to the time it takes for half of the initial amount of the toxin to be eliminated or degraded in the body. It is a measure of the rate of elimination or degradation of the toxin. It does not directly relate to the time it takes for the toxin to cause chronic toxicosis, create a toxin, or cause acute toxicosis.
