Botulism

no, it is the condition caused by Botulin Toxin, a product of the bacterium clostridium botulinum, which can grow in improperly cooked or stored food.

Botulism bacteria does not grow in open air with oxygen, it occurs in sealed areas such as a covered pot instead of an open pot, or such as a can or jar that has a cover on it. This is why you boil it after you cover it. The poison is not made by the growing bacteria, it is made by the dying bacteria, and people who usually die do so from taste sampling BEFORE reheating not knowing that reheating it to 180 will destroy not just bacteria but also destroy the poison.

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.

By using aerobic respiration and anaerobic fermentation Yersinia pestis are able to produce and consume hydrogen gas for energy.

The lethal form of bacteria connected with botulism is called "claustridium botulinum type E".

Botulism is a serious illness caused by the botulinum toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which forms heat-resistant endospores. These endospores can survive in anaerobic conditions, such as in improperly canned or preserved foods, and can germinate to produce the toxin when conditions are favorable. Ingesting even a small amount of this toxin can lead to severe neurological symptoms and, in some cases, can be fatal. Timely medical intervention is crucial for recovery from botulism.

No, botulism is the disease caused by the ingestion of the toxin formed during the growth of the bacteria Clostridium botulinum.

Clostridium botulinum, the anaerobic bacteria responsible for botulism, produces gases and some smelling substances. So if the can or the lid are bloated, it's not a good idea eat the content. The smell (be careful! Don't taste it!) is similar to rancid butter.

Botulism is caused by botulinun toxin, that is produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum on anaerobic conditions.

The toxin attacks by entering the body in three ways : 1) colonization of the digestive tract in children which is called infant botulism, in adults by ingestion of toxin through ingestion of food, which is called food borne botulism, and the third way a wound may be contaminated by the bacterium, and in this case it is called wound botulism.

Whatever the form, a paralysis starts with the muscles of the face, spreading towards the limbs. When the form is severe, the paralysis of the breathing muscles causes respiratory failure. This life-threatening trouble is treated as a medical emergency, leading public health officials preventing further cases of the same source.

Botulism (Latin, botulus, "sausage") also known as botulinus intoxication is a rare but serious paralytic illness caused by botulinum toxin, which is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.

Dont feed an infant under one year old honey. One year and older is perfectly safe!

You get botulism from a toxin produced by bacteria

Also - it can enter the body through a wound contaminated by the organism and the organism needn't be present if the toxin has already been produced. Infants may get it from eating unpasteurised honey but most botulism occurs after eating improperly canned or cooked foods.

It affects the axon terminal, by blocking the release of acetylcholine , thus preventing an action potential from occurring.

On a scale of 1 to 10 this bacterial infection is at about a 4, most people wont die from this infection because it doesnt spread and also it is very curable. On statistics at the CDC it shows that only 8% (survival rate) will die (even though this is still a big number). This infection is very rare so that is why the percentage is at where it is. Botulism only occurs if you are not looking at the contents of the cans you use and not looking at what is inside them and when you get the botulism inside your open cuts.

Botulism paralyzes the nervs so that the mustle can't contract

yes

It is called "Botulism poisoning" and occurs due to an anaerobic bacterium, Clostridium botulinum. It can be deadly.

It can occur in infants when exposed to the bacterium from disturbed soil or being fed honey at an early age. Adults get botulism poisoning from eating improperly cooked canned food or piercing their body with infected dirt ie. intravenous injections. People have died from botulism poisoning from improperly processed tetra packs of juice in Asia.

The symptoms are varied but paralysis is common, leading to an inability to breathe.

Medically, the botulism paralysis is used in Botox injections to smooth lines on the forehead or to help to relax the tight muscles (spasticity) of cerebral palsy victims.

yes , boiling kill almost of botulinum toxin

Botulism can affect anyone that eats food containing the bacteria.
