It is not infectious at all unless all of the conditions for germination are present. In the presence of anaerobic conditions (lacking oxygen), the spores can germinate rapidly and deadly. This is when the spores produce toxins that are harmful to the human nervous system. It is the only vaccine-preventable disease that is infectious, but not contagious.
