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.

The symptoms for botulism can be very similar to the symptoms of some other diseases. Therefore, if botulism is suspected, it's very important to determine if poison is in the food that has been eaten. If you think you have botulism, it is very important not to throw out any leftover food. Testing of food that has been recently eaten can be very valuable to determine if botulism poison is in the food.
