Botulism is an anaerobic bacteria - this means it can grow without air. This is why botulism can be contracted from eating canned foods that have been dented or home canned goods, such as tomatoes, that have not been prepared properly. Once exposed to air, over time, these botulin spores die. This is one reason why you should not smell a freshly opened can of food; the botulin spores can be inhaled into your lungs and cause illness. It is unlikely that you could get botulism from eating Hot Dogs that have not been canned and that have been exposed to the air. It is more likely you could get a gastroenteritis from eating spoiled hot dogs that may have been left out, old or improperly stored.
