@yass.unitedstates: A 24-year-old two-time cancer survivor nearly lost her life after eating homemade fermented swordfish at a dinner with friends, despite thinking it would only cause a minor stomach issue. Within days, she couldn’t swallow, speak, or even drink water, and was later diagnosed with botulism, a rare but dangerous toxin that can cause paralysis. She survived after emergency treatment, but now faces months of recovery, relearning basic functions like speaking and swallowing. #usa #phoenix #women #cancer #news
