Method: study literature review method by collecting various journals that investigate Fusarium graminearum contamination and the associated risks of deoxynivalenol Results: Effects on human health cause gastrointestinal disturbances, damage to the digestive tract, and toxic effects on the immune system, while on animals cause been shown to reduce the production of milk, eggs, and meat.
