Wood is not a good thing in a mulch. As wood decomposes it requires a great deal of nitrogen in order to break down and when you apply a mulch that is heavy in wood chips to your flower beds, landscape or other garden areas it will actually pull valuable nitrogen from the soil.e keep chickens and use dust free wood chips from the local timber yard for their bedding in the coops. we clean then out once a fortnight and put the waste in a compost heap made from old pallets 8 foot X 4 foot. We also put grass clippings, garden weeds, crushed egg shells, banana skins, tea bags onto the pile.
Tick paralysis. Tick paralysis is the only tick-borne disease that is not caused by an infectious organism. The illness is caused by a neurotoxin produced in the tick's salivary gland. After prolonged attachment, the engorged tick transmits the toxin to its host. The incidence of tick paralysis is unknown.
(Redirected from Bacterial toxin). Microbial toxins are toxins produced by micro-organisms, including bacteria and fungi. Microbial toxins promote infection and disease by directly damaging host tissues and by disabling the immune system.Some bacterial toxins, such as Botulinum neurotoxins, are the most potent natural toxins known.However, microbial toxins also have important uses in medical science and research.icrobial toxins promote infection and disease by directly damaging host tissues and by disabling the immune system.
