Botulism is often fatal. It differs from other food poisoning because it usually develops without gastrointestinal symptoms and occurs from 18hrs to 1 week after ingestion. Approx. two thirds of botulism cases are fatal, usually from delayed diagnosis and respiratory complications. For those who do survive, recovery is very slow.
