One type of food poisoning is Botulism. Botulism is serious food poisoning that is very rare in the US. The toxin enters the nerve cells and blocks transmissions so that muscles become weak. Botulism IS NOT contagious.
Can Botulism be prevented?
Although there are very few cases of botulism poisoning each year, prevention is extremely important. According to the CDC, foodborne botulism has often been linked to home-canned foods with a low acid content. These foods include asparagus, green beans, beets, and corn. People have also become infected from other sources including chopped garlic in oil, chili peppers, tomatoes, improperly handled baked potatoes cooked in aluminum foil, and home-canned or fermented fish (such as sardines). Persons who can their own food should follow strict canning procedures to reduce contamination of foods. Honey should not be given to children younger than 12 months of age, as it can contain spores of C. Botulism and is known to cause infant botulism.

How can you tell if mead is infected?
One way to tell if mead is infected is by observing any unusual smells, flavors, or appearances, such as a sour or off-putting taste, a cloudy or murky appearance, or a strange odor. Additionally, if the mead shows signs of fermentation after it has already been bottled and sealed, it may be a sign of infection.
Can one get Botulism from expired proccessed canned chicken soup?
Yes, botulism can potentially be acquired from expired processed canned chicken soup if the can is damaged, improperly sealed, or has been stored at inappropriate temperatures. The bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which causes botulism, thrives in low-oxygen environments like sealed cans. If there are any signs of spoilage, such as bulging, leaking, or an off smell, it is safest to discard the product. Always prioritize food safety and avoid consuming expired canned goods.
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.
Can you play left for dead verses mode on the Xbox 360 in split screen?
YES YOU CAN! First when you are at the main menu tell the other person to sign in. Then after you two have signed in, player one press the X button, a screen will pop up then select create lobby then select versus mode, when your in that screen you can select to be either a survivor or a infected. You have to have at least two people to do this, one of you has to be an infected and one a human. The infected usually lose but its fun to be the infected for once. I hope that I have helped someone.
