The history of toxicology in Mexico should include, at the outset, reference to the indigenous cultures which had aquired an intimate knowledge of the medicinal properties of the land's flora. These early civilizations even cultivated botanical gardens of medicinal plants. The use of medicinal plants by the Aztecs was described by Sahagun in his "General history of the things of the New Spain" and in 1552, the Libellus de Medicinalibus Indorum Herbis, containing a description of medicinal plants and their uses, was published

Modern toxicology began to take root in Mexico in the early 1970´s in several laboratories at different institutes and universities, such as the Instituto Politécnico Nacional and the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Today, research in toxicology, genotoxicology, environmental toxicology and food toxicology is performed mostly in public universities in Mexico City such as those mentioned above but also in various state universities such as the Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes, Universidad de Durango, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Universidad de San Luis Potosí, Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro and Instituto Tecnológico de Sonora. Toxicology is taught in an assortment of Mexican university faculties, such as chemistry, medicine, veterinary science, and sometimes biology, as a part of the academic curricula. Food toxicology is currently taught within several university departments within the new Food Science and Technology degree programs. There are postgraduate programs in toxicology, environmental toxicology and environmental management in public and private superior education institutions. The CONACYT or Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (National Science and Technology Council) funds most of the research and the postgraduate programs. The Secretary of Environmental Resources (SEMARNAT) also funds research in specific areas. The Sociedad Mexicana de Toxicología, SOMTOX (Mexican Society of Toxicology) was founded in 1994 by members of the Mexican chapter of the Latin American Society of Toxicology (ALATOX). SOMTOX holds biennial meetings. Dr. Lilia Albert Palacios was its first president. Genetic toxicologists participate in academic societies such as the Sociedad Mexicana de Genética (Mexican Society of Genetics) and the Sociedad Mexicana de Genética Humana (Mexican Society of Human Genetics). The publication of books in the area has been sponsored mostly by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and by Goverment Agencies such as the Instituto de Ecología (Ecology Institute) and the Secretary of Environmental Resources (SEMARNAT), and universities. There are no specialized toxicology journals in Mexico, although chemistry, biology, ecology and clinical sciences journals publish toxicological research findings. The journal Revista de Contaminación Ambiental, edited by several universities, specializes in environmental pollution research.
