[mod.L., f. Gr. τῡρός cheese + τοξικόν poison.]
A poisonous ptomaine (diazobenzene hydroxide, C6H5N.N.OH), produced by a microbe in stale cheese and milk; cheese-poison.
1886Sci. Amer. 21 Aug. 112/3 About a year ago, Dr. Victor C. Vaughan, of the University of Michigan, succeeded in isolating from some samples of cheese..a highly poisonous ptomaine, which he named tyrotoxicon (cheese poison)... Further investigations have led to the discovery that tyrotoxicon may be developed in milk.
So tyroˈtoxin [toxin] = tyrotoxicon; tyroˈtoxism, cheese-poisoning.
