Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by naturally occurring fungi that can proliferate on cannabis in the field and/or during storage.  Mycotoxins are extremely toxic to humans, particularly in circumstances involving long-term exposure.  Aflatoxin exposure can result in severe abdominal pain, edema, hemorrhaging, liver damage, mental impairment, convulsions, coma, and even death.
