About Toxin

Toxin is a Rock and Roll band straight out of Long Island, New York. The band started in late 2007 when Jason Kloos (vocals) and Matt Hulse (keyboards) were in search of some great players. After a long hard search and much aggravation Jason and Matt came across bassist Joe Gigante. Now the three members started looking for a guitarist and drummer. Joining the crew was Ross Medico (guitar) and Chaz Falzerano (drums). Toxin was finally put together.

Toxin now plays many local shows on Long Island including there show at Jones Beach, New York. Toxin is currently working on their full length CD titled "I Need Your Kiss" which includes their hits, "Get Ready To Rock" and "I Don't Care". Toxin has been seen in Newspapers such as Long Island's "Newsday", On television and more. They have and will continue to develop a big fan base both on and off Long Island. "We went to see the debut of a new band called Toxin. We agree that it's the best new band in the entire world. The 5 teenage members of the band make up the one and only, Toxin!", said by Newsday's Danielle Cosgrove and Ashley Palmer.

-A '''toxin''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: {{polytonic|τοξικόν}}, ''toxikon'', lit. (poison) for use on arrows) is a [[poison]]ous substance produced by living cells or organisms<ref>{{DorlandsDict|eight/000109718|toxin}}</ref> that is active at very low concentrations. Toxins can be [[small molecule]]s, [[peptide]]s, or [[protein]]s and are capable of causing disease on contact or abso with [[Biological tissue|body tissue]]s by interacting with biological [[macromolecule]]s such as [[enzyme]]s or [[Receptor (biochemistry)|cellular receptors]]. Toxins vary greatly in their severity, ranging from usually minor and acute (as in a [[bee]] [[Stinger|sting]]) to almost immediately deadly (as in [[botulinum toxin]]).
-Toxins are often distinguished from other chemical agents by its method of production- the word toxin does not specify method of delivery (compare with [[venom]] and (the narrower meaning) of [[poison]]). It simply means it is a biologically produced poison.
-There was an ongoing dispute between [[NATO]] and the [[Warsaw Pact]] over whether to call a toxin a [[Biological agent|biological]] or [[chemical agent]], in which the former opted for the latter, and vice versa.
-Biotoxins vary greatly in purpose and mechanism, and can be highly complex (the [[venom]] of the [[cone snail]] contains dozens of small [[protein]]s, each targeting a specific nerve channel or receptor), or relatively small protein.

-* Defense ([[bee]], [[poison dart frog]], [[Honey bee|honeybee]], [[wasp]])
-Some of the more well known types of biotoxins include:
-* [[Cyanotoxin]]s, produced by [[cyanobacteria]]
-* [[Hemotoxin]]s target and destroy red blood cells, and are transmitted through the bloodstream. Organisms that produce hemotoxins include:
-** [[Pit viper]]s, such as [[rattlesnake]]s
-* [[Necrosis|Necrotoxins]] cause necrosis (i.e., death) in the cells they encounter and destroy all types of [[biological tissue|tissue]]{{Fact|date=August 2008}}. Necrotoxins spread through the bloodstream{{Fact|date=August 2008}}. In humans, [[skin]] and [[muscle]] tissues are most sensitive to necrotoxins{{Fact|date=August 2008}}. Organisms that possess necrotoxins include:
-** The [[Brown recluse spider|brown recluse]] or "fiddle back" spider
-** The "Puff Adder" - ''[[Bitis arietans]]''
-** [[Necrotizing fasciitis]] (the "flesh eating" [[Streptococcus pyogenes|bacteria]])
-* [[Neurotoxin]]s primarily affect the nervous systems of animals. Organisms that possess neurotoxins include:
-** The [[Black widow spider|Black Widow]] and other [[widow spider]]s
-** Most [[scorpion]]s
-** The [[box jellyfish]]
-** [[Elapidae|Elapid]] snakes
-** The [[Cone snail|Cone Snail]]
-* [[Cytotoxic|Cytotoxins]] are toxic at the level of individual cells, either in a non-specific fashion or only in certain types of living cells:
-** [[Ricin]] is a plant toxin found in the castor bean plant

-==Non-technical usage==

-When used non-technically, the term "toxin" is often applied to any [[toxic]] substances. Toxic substances not of biological origin are more properly termed [[poison]]s. Many non-technical and lifestyle journalists also follow this usage to refer to [[Toxicity (disambiguation)|toxic]] substances in general, though some specialist journalists at publishers such as the [[BBC]] and ''[[The Guardian]]'' maintain the distinction that toxins are only those produced by living organisms.{{Fact|date=November 2008}}

+* Joe Gigante - [[Bass Guitar]]
+* Chaz Falzerano - [[Drum kit|Drums]]
+===Former members===
-In the context of [[alternative medicine]] the term is often used non-specifically to refer to any substance claimed to cause ill health, ranging anywhere from trace amounts of [[pesticide]]s to common food items like refined [[sugar]] or [[Food additive|additives]] like [[artificial sweetener]]s and [[Monosodium glutamate|MSG]].{{Fact|date=November 2008}}
