botulism

In fact Botulinum Toxin is a lethal substance that can cause botulism, a life-threatening illness.

Indeed, more than a million doses of botulism antiserum were prepared (PDF) for D-Day soldiers invading Normandy Beach.

Botulism is caused by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, a hardy anaerobe.

To regard every can as a source of botulism is worse than regarding every dog as a source of hydrophobia.

It should be clearly understood that botulism is one of the very rare maladies.

Professor Stiles has given a graphic description of his own attack of probable botulism due in all likelihood to minced chicken.

So far as can be learned the meat that has caused botulism has always come from perfectly sound animals.

Thus far the best-known examples of poisoning by the products of micro-organisms are botulism and ergotism.
