Classification
There are three main kinds of botulism:
- Foodborne botulism is caused by eating foods that contain the botulinum toxin.
- Wound botulism is caused by toxin produced from a wound infected with Clostridium botulinum. This is the rarest type of botulism.
- Infant botulism is caused by consuming the spores of the botulinum bacteria, which then grow in the intestines and release toxin.
