Aflatoxin is a by product of mold found on wet feed grains similar in its effect to nerve gas. I would think it would cause a nervous system dysfunction before it would have time to cause cancer. Nice scare tactic on that website. Aflatoxin can be the culprit for renal failure in dogs and cats when pet food is contaminated with moldy feed grains. The first signs you usually see are rear limb paralysis as it usually manifests in a neurological response first. Cattle affected with aflatoxin poison are ataxic and usually present with abnormal neurological symptoms.
