No, botulism does not have airborne spores. The bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which causes botulism, primarily produces spores that are found in soil, untreated water, and certain foods. These spores can survive in anaerobic environments but are not transmitted through the air. Botulism is typically associated with improperly canned or preserved foods rather than airborne transmission.

How do Aspergillus spores enter the body?
Airborne Aspergillus spores enter the body primarily through inhalation but can also lodge in the ear or eye
Will airborne mold spores die if you get rid of the source?
Airborne mold spores may eventually settle out of the air and die naturally if the source of moisture and nutrients is removed. However, it's important to address any remaining spores by improving ventilation, using air purifiers, and cleaning affected areas to prevent potential regrowth.
What are some things that can pass through a window screen?

What are the concepts of aeromicrobiology?
Aeromicrobiology is the study of occurrence and spread of airborne microorganisms, including viruses and bacteria and the spores of bacteria and fungi.
Can you get Botulism from spoiled hot dogs?
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.
What is the significant of pH in foods?
Low pH foods tend to taste sour. High pH foods taste bitter. Low pH foods can be canned using either boiling water baths or pressure canning. Sufficient acidity (low pH) can prevent botulism spores from germinating. High pH foods require pressure canning (which reaches higher temperatures) in order to kill any botulism spores.
What is mold made out of?
Mold is made up of tiny fungus spores that can spread easily through the air. When these spores land in a damp or humid area, they can grow and form visible mold colonies. Mold also requires organic material, such as wood or paper, to feed on and thrive.
