Background: Botulism is a poisoning of the body caused by toxin botolo, which is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Botulino toxin is the most toxic of all known bacterial toxins. The spores of these bacteria are quite common in the environment, especially in soil, water, fish. They are extremely resistant to environmental factors and can withstand exposure to high temperatures for hours. Only boiling of raw material for 30 minutes under pressure contributes to the destruction of bacterial spores of botulism and toxin destruction. A feature of the botulism bacteria is that they grow well and reproduce in the absence of oxygen and low acid environment. That is canned food, especially with low acid content, is a very good environment for their existence. The infection of human botulism occurs due to consumption of the food containing the toxins of botulism bacteria. It should be noted that infection from person to person does not occur. Symptoms appear within 12-36 hours after consumption of the product containing the toxin. You experience a fever, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, impaired visual function, dry mouth, difficulty swallowing and muscle paralysis.
