Boltulism is caused by a bacteria called Clostridium botulinum and more specifically the toxins that this bacteria produces.

Botulism can be cured although even when all the bacteria which cause it are dead the toxins they made can still stay in your body causing damage. Over time the immune system will find all the toxin and destroy it but this will only happen if the immune systems response is strong and the amount of bacteria which the person was infected with initially was not too great.
