@scienceainimation: Did you know botulism is caused by one of the most potent toxins known, produced by Clostridium botulinum, and it works by blocking the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction? This leads to a descending paralysis and even respiratory failure if untreated. Its the reason why children under 1 years of age shouldn’t eat Honey. It’s most commonly linked to improperly canned foods, but early recognition and treatment with antitoxin can be lifesaving. #botulism #canningtiktok #cannedfood #paralysis #botulismawareness m
