Botulism is primarily caused by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which can produce toxins in improperly canned or preserved foods. Potential contaminants include home-canned vegetables, fermented fish, and cured meats that have not been adequately processed. Additionally, honey can contain spores of C. botulinum, making it a risk for infants under one year of age. Other sources can include contaminated water or soil, where the spores naturally occur.
