Can boiling kill a fungus such as C difficile?
Clostridium diff. is an intestinal (hospital borne) infectious bacterium, so boiling 'in there' is no option, but that wasn't the question, was it?In general:Boiling to kill anaerobic spore forming bacteria (like Clostridiaea) is a far from sufficient sterilising method, it only stops (kills) the living cells (not all), it does not stop (kill) the spores from being infectious as new germs. Also toxins are thermo-resistant as far as I know.

It can occur in infants when exposed to the bacterium from disturbed soil or being fed honey at an early age.

People have died from botulism poisoning from improperly processed tetra packs of juice in Asia. The symptoms are varied but paralysis is common, leading to an inability to breathe. Medically, the botulism paralysis is used in Botox injections to smooth lines on the forehead or to help to relax the tight muscles (spasticity) of cerebral palsy victims.
How can botulism be transmitted?
Cases of foodborne botulism often come from home-canned foods with low acid content, such as asparagus, green beans, beets, and corn. Clostridium botulinum bacteria is anaerobic, which means it can survive and grow with little or no oxygen. Therefore, it can survive very well in sealed containers. Outbreaks of the botulism are often from more unusual sources such as chili peppers, tomatoes, and improperly handled baked potatoes wrapped in aluminum foil.
What is the potentially fatal paralysis of skeletal muscles resulting from ingestion of botulinum toxin?
