Botulism is essentially a type of poisoning.
It is not just a result of eating the proverbial can of meat with the bulging lid. It can occur from eating home-canned goods of many types, and infants can contract it from eating raw honey. Botulism is a rare but serious foodborne disease. It is caused by contamination of certain foods by the botulism bacterium commonly found in the soil. An adult may become ill by eating spoiled food containing the botulism toxin.
