The causes of botulism and its treatment.
Introduction:
Botulism is a chronic illness that results in flaccid paralysis of muscles. The cause of botulism is a neurotoxin, known as botulinum toxin, which is produced generally by the bacterium Clostridium. The toxin can block the release of a vital chemical acetylcholine from the motor nerve endings which play an important role in the transmission of the signal among the nerve cells.
