There are numerous examples of heat stable toxins, right? What are the
symptoms of the patient(s)? How many cases occurred and were there any
deaths? Sounds like an interesting problem. B. cereus is a good idea
since it is a sporeformer and produces one or more enterotoxins. I don't
know if the toxin(s) is heat labile.
