Botulism is one of the most deadly toxins known.
Botulism primarily affects humans and various animals, particularly those with a gastrointestinal system, such as livestock and pets. The condition is caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which can grow in improperly preserved foods. In humans, botulism can lead to severe neurological symptoms, including paralysis. Infants are particularly vulnerable to a specific form of botulism due to their immature gut flora.
Foodborne botulism comes from eating food that has the botulism toxin in it. Foodborne botulism usually comes from eating home-canned food. Any food may have botulism. Botulism is tasteless, odorless, and has no color. Wound botulism comes from having a sore, a cut, or a skin opening. Wound botulism usually comes from injecting street drugs.

Botulism is in the kingdom Bacteria.
Botulism results from the contamination of food by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, which releases toxic by-products as it grows anaerobically. Damaged or dented cans, or improper canning, can allow botulism to affect the food inside.
No, botulism cannot grow in vinegar because its acidic environment prevents the growth of the bacteria that causes botulism.
That is the correct spelling of "botulism" (a type of food poisoning)
botulism
Clostridium botulinum is the oranism causing botulism which is a bacteria(prokaryote).
Ebola virus, which causes a severe and often fatal disease in humans, is studied at USAMRIID. Anthrax, a bacterium that can cause severe illness and death when inhaled, is also a focus of research at USAMRIID.
"Botox" is botulism toxin, which is derived from a kind of bacteria.
Three types of botulism have been identified: foodborne, wound, and infant botulism. The main difference between types hinges on the route of exposure to the toxin.
