A member asked:

Explain all the (best) (different) ways toxins can be found? i am speaking of toxins released from an infectious disease aspect?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Infection: Presence and source of infection best determined by physical exam. Identification of specific pathogen(s) involved best determined by lab tests. Please call your PCP now. Infections tend to worsen rather than self-healing. You need help--find it.
