Complications of botulism

Doctors and researchers have identified a wide variety of microorganisms that can cause food poisoning. Certain viruses, bacteria and parasites in food can all result in nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and suffering characteristic of food poisoning. While many of these problems to disappear in a few days, botulism, a dangerous type of food poisoning, can cause complications that can last for months.

Bacteria called (Clostridium botulinum) is responsible for botulism. The bacteria thrives in conditions of low-oxygen, low-acid, which can produce a substance called botulinum. This is a by-product that disrupts the nervous system, resulting in several problems. Because of the conditions that favoured by this bacteria, usually live in canned products. So, if you have any suspicions about a canned item, you should throw it away.

12 to 36 hours after eating a food full of botulism, you may begin to notice strange symptoms are unlike other, more formal forms of food poisoning. Initial signs of botulism include:

-Blurry vision
-Difficulty breathing
-Problems with swallowing
-The eyelids

While foodborne botulism can also cause nausea and vomiting, the attack on the nervous system can leave you with a more serious problem such as paralysis. The botulinum interferes with your ability to control the muscles. This causes weak and flaccid muscles, and may even result in loss of reflexes.

Shockingly, a part of your body that may be affected by hazardous botulism is the respiratory system. The toxin can interfere with your ability to breathe, that can lead to problems such as respiratory distress. Indeed, subjects breathing can last for years-you may notice abnormal fatigue or shortness of breath breathe after your years suffering from botulism.

Should you suffer from botulism is caused by tainted food, this can leave you with serious health issues. If you have suffered from botulism is caused by improperly Handled or prepared foods, you may be eligible for financial compensation to help with the pain and suffering.
