Annotation: Botulism is a rare but serious paralytic illness caused by a nerve toxin that is produced by a bacterium. It can be spread by eating foods that contain the botulinum toxin, as well as through open wounds. All forms of botulism can be fatal and are considered medical emergencies. Using colorful imagery, extensive resources, and a timeline detailing the history of the disease, this topical book provides an authoritative look at current problems and future solutions to the occurrences of the disease.
