6 Home Made Remedies for Botulism

Botulism is a disease produced by ingestion of poor canned food. It is one of the rarer but more serious forms of food poisoning.

This intoxication is caused by the botulinum toxin, a substance produced by a bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which is habitually found in the soil, in the vegetables and sometimes in the intestine of herbivorous animals.

It is important to note that the genus Clostridium comprises about one hundred different species of bacteria, four of which are human pathogens and one of them is Clostridium botulinum.

The first manifestations usually consist of blurred and double vision, intolerance to light, difficulty speaking and swallowing food, nausea, and vomiting. If the disease is not controlled in time, a paralysis of the lower extremities is established which rises to death through paralysis of the muscles of the breath.

It is necessary to note that botulism requires medical treatment but can be supplemented with home and natural remedies.
