Botulism (from the Latin botulum -sausage-) literally means "sausage disease").

It was first described in 1735 as a form of food poisoning caused by German sausages.

It is not exclusive to sausages, but it is mainly contracted from poorly preserved foods (poorly preserved homemade preserves, poorly cured sausages, etc.).

It can also be contracted through infection of an open wound, although this is less common.

This rather amusing toxin is the one injected in surgical and cosmetic procedures for its neuromuscular paralysis effect. Does Botox ring a bell?

But be very careful with it: it's the most toxic toxin known. So, as with all cooking recipes...the proportions are very, very important. A dose higher than recommended could be lethal.
