Deoxynivalenol is known as vomitoxin or DON. It is a potent fungal toxin to affect crops grown in cool and moist conditions. Fusarium graminearum is the principal DON-producing fungus in grains but Fusarium culmorum is often involved as well especially in certain geographical areas of the world. Deoxynivalenol is a known immunosuppressant and may cause kidney problems. Consuming DON-contaminated grain can cause vomiting in humans and animals. Deoxynivalenol is formed by the Fusarium species and mainly affects corn, wheat, oats and barley.
