Botulism is a serious illness that is caused by a bacterial toxin. It is a rare condition but can prove to be lethal within a short period of time. It can be transmitted from contaminated soil, food, or open wound. Botulism can cause paralysis of your respiratory and skeletal muscles. If left untreated, it can be fatal. Botulism should be treated as a medical emergency if you develop its symptoms. Recovery period can last from a few weeks to months.
