Fairly rare in developed countries, unless one is careless in preserving food.
Yes! Botulism is considered dangerous because it harms a person quickly. it is rare and is found in canned goods.
Botulism is a rare but serious illness caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. While it is possible to get botulism from improperly canned or fermented foods, the risk of getting botulism from commercially prepared pickles is very low.
botulism is NOT
Botulism is a form of food poisoning. The poisons are secreted by a common bacterium.
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 (Latin, botulus, "sausage") also known as botulinus intoxication is a rare but serious paralytic illness caused by botulinum toxin, which is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.
You get botulism from a toxin produced by bacteria Also - it can enter the body through a wound contaminated by the organism and the organism needn't be present if the toxin has already been produced. Infants may get it from eating unpasteurised honey but most botulism occurs after eating improperly canned or cooked foods.
no it is very common
Botulism does not cause infection; rather, it is a form of food poisoning caused by toxins produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. The toxin affects the nervous system, leading to symptoms like muscle weakness and paralysis. In rare cases, botulism can occur from an infection in wounds but this is distinct from the classic foodborne type. Thus, while botulism is related to bacteria, it is primarily associated with toxin production rather than an infectious process.
E coli, salmonella, campylobacter, botulism
An opossum is NOT rare, it is a common animal.
Well, I don't really know the most common injury of Botulism but I did read what happened to some people after eating a canned hot dog chili that was infected with botulism. URL for the article: http://www.injurylawreport.com/archives/food-contamination-people-injured-nationwide-from-eating-botulismcontaminated-food.html A 52 year old man was paralyzed from eating this chili. While a young boy was hospitalized. Well, I think we understand how scary Botulism is now.
