Botulism is primarily caused by ingesting toxins produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The most common sources are improperly canned or preserved foods, especially home-canned goods, as well as certain fermented fish and honey (which can be harmful to infants). In rare cases, botulism can also occur through wound infections or by exposure to the bacteria in the environment. It is important to follow proper food safety practices to reduce the risk of contamination.
