poisonous toxins, which then lead to food poisoning.
When we consume food containing these bacteria, these organ-
isms continue to reproduce in our intestines. The toxin that pro-
duced in the region of the cell where they settle can result in the
death of the cell and spread through the digestive system. Infection
thus appears in the intestines. In some situations, bacteria can leave
toxins on foodstuffs without actually entering the body themselves.
When the food is eaten, its toxins are absorbed into the body, and
serious food poisoning may again ensue. 56
One of the dread diseases caused by bacteria is known as:
Plague: Against Which Mankind Was Powerless for
Centuries
People can be poisoned by bacteria in the food they eat. Yet
bacteria can also have other harmful effects. The most important
feature of the bacterium that goes by the name of coccobacillus is that
it was the sole cause of the plague that killed almost a third of the
population of Europe in the 14th century.
How is it that this microorganism decided to have such an
deadly effect en masse and invade so many bodies? Darwinists,
who seek to deny Allah's creative power, can clearly see their own

The plague bacterium lives parasitically in rodents like rats,
mice and squirrels, and is passed on to humans by these animals'
fleas. Surrounded by the immune system in the human intestine,
the bacterium has a simulating and cell-multiplying effect. The
