No, botulism is not contagious and cannot spread from person to person. It is important to note that botulism is caused by the ingestion of the botulinum toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. While it can be contracted through tainted food, inhalation of the toxin, injection of too much Botox, or through open wounds, it does not pass from one person to another through direct contact or respiratory droplets.
