No, polio is not caused by toxins. Polio, short for poliomyelitis, is a highly infectious viral disease caused by the poliovirus. The virus is typically transmitted through contaminated food, water, or contact with an infected person's feces. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1500891/ https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/polio/symptoms-causes/syc-20376512
