It isn't the bad food that makes you sick but what bacteria is growing in it. It can be Botulinum which makes a toxin that is the most powerful neurotoxin known to date. Only one single molecule of it is needed to stop one neuron working.
1 gram of botulinum toxin would be enough to kill 14,000 people (if ingested), 1.25 million people if inhaled, or a staggering 8.3 million people if injected.
