A toxin is "a poisonous substance produced during the metabolism and growth of certain microorganisms and some higher plant and animal species"
But there are other poisons than toxins, arsenic for example!

a toxin is anything that can be dangerous to the body, a poison is a form of taxin that is usually ingested or inhaled. toxins can be absorbed through the skin, eaten, sniffed, enter through the tear ducts, or even throught the ears
