Symptoms are blurry vision, trouble swallowing, trouble breathing, and trouble speaking clearly. Botulism results from the consumption of contaminated canned or smoked foods that contain a toxin. The toxin, produced by bacteria, prevents the release of ACh at the synaptic terminals, leading to a potentially fatal muscular paralysis.
