Mouse Unit
[edit]A mouse unit (MU) is a scientific method used to measure the relative toxicity of many toxins, not just Yessotoxin. For example, it is commonly used in food safety as the amount of toxin required to kill a 20g mouse in 15 minutes by IP injection[1][2][3]. So.... why in the world is Mouse Unit redirecting to this page? DocTox (talk) 00:39, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
