Botulism is a rare and potentially fatal illness caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.The disease begins with weakness, blurred vision, feeling tired, and trouble speaking.This may then be followed by weakness of the arms, chest muscles, and legs.Vomiting, swelling of the abdomen, and diarrhea may also occur.The disease does not usually affect consciousness or cause a fever.
Botulism can be spread in several different ways.The bacterial spores which cause it are common in both soil and water.They produce the botulinum toxin when exposed to low oxygen levels and certain temperatures. Foodborne botulism happens when food containing the toxin is eaten. Infant botulism happens when the bacteria develops in the intestines and releases the toxin.This typically only occurs in children less than six months old, as protective mechanisms develop after that time. Wound botulism is found most often among those who inject street drugs.In this situation, spores enter a wound, and in the absence of oxygen, release the toxin.It is not passed directly between people.The diagnosis is confirmed by finding the toxin or bacteria in the person in question.]
Thanks for the well-produced video

😂underrated comment
Very useful👍👍
My topic is Foodborne (botulism) so is it okay if I refer this video?
Awesome video.
Glad you think so
thank you very much. I was working on a science project and for botulism and was a little lost.
Glad it was helpful.
short and clear explanation and well understandable
Glad it was helpful.
so if you just go tho the Hospital it is easy tho treat ?
and you dont need tho worry that much ?
I ate some chili and now I’m having abdominal twitching and my eyelid is twitching too. Kinda nervous.
Are you ok right now? What was it ?
@@MBN-sn7xt turns out i had covid. Weird side effect.

The TLDR is twitching of the eye is common and usually stress based and is caused by your nervous system being over excited and sending out too many signals, so get more rest, chill time, and cut out the stimulants, and also use it as an indication that you're pushing your self too hard.
The lengthy response:
My eyes have twitched off and on through out my adult life (as well as many other random highly specific muscle spasms, like a tiny part of my tricep or shoulder for instance). In fact, my right eye is beginning to do it now, damn it. Lol
It took me years to figure out why and how to mitigate them, but mine are due to nerve damage as well as inherited nervous system disfunctions (epilepsy).
Eye twitches are almost always a sign of too much stress on the body/mind manifesting in your nervous system. The human brain represents 2% of a persons weight but requires about 20% of our energy making it one of the most "energy expensive" organs in our bodys budget so to speak.
Stress (of any kind, in your case apparently becacause of an early stage viral infection) causes build up of a hormone called cortisol, which is produced by the adrenal gland to help the body produce glucose (essentially). (Glucose being basically food or muscle and fat if you havent eaten converted into fuel)
If you were very stressed out for a long period of time, high cortisol levels can cause immunosuppression and a whole host of other problems, especially long term. This is most likely why high stress people tend to live shorter lives.
(Note that cortisol is by far not the only reason for these muscle spasms. Im not a doctor)
Your spasmodic stomach is a bit odd though. Do you mean like your ab muscles were twitching or you had an odd sensation in your gut?
Again, Im not a physician but Im pretty sure there isnt much muscle in the gut to cause twitching.
I would however chalk that up to covid since it does cause gastrointestinal symptomologies as well. But I suspect, and this is a very taboo and contested topic so take it with several grains of salt, but its because it appears that the coof virus was made in a lab and its not something that would have existed naturally otherwise.
Hope youre doing better. If you ever get the twitches again, it means you need to slow down whatever youre doing and chill. Sleep, healthy living, and avoiding stimulants like nicotine, and caffeine, or atleast reducing them if you cant do that is 9 times out of 10 gonna cure that eye twitch.

can you get botulism by thawing frozen ground turkey, thawing it, putting it back in the freezer, thawing it again, and then eating it?
Hey, I like this video. I came here from the WHO disease watchlist tho
Thank you and welcome to the channel
Can beef ravioli from chef boyardee have botulinum
In theory, yes. However, it would be EXTREMELY uncommon. It was never been seen in this brand before.
Who's here because of our lord and winemaking regarded savior KingCobes?

How long does it take to know if you have botulism? After how long to stop worrying about it?
Ana I looked it up it says it “In foodborne botulism, symptoms generally begin 18 to 36 hours after eating a contaminated food. However, symptoms can begin as soon as 6 hours after or up to 10 days later. If you or someone you know has symptoms of botulism, see your doctor or go to the emergency room immediately.”
You think bumblebee canned whole baby clams would have botulism? I ate some that tasted weird
Botulism does not have taste
