    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botulism

    Botulism can occur in many vertebrates and invertebrates. Botulism has been reported in such species as rats, mice, chicken, frogs, toads, goldfish, aplysia, squid, crayfish, drosophila and leeches. [95] Death from botulism is common in waterfowl; an estimated 10,000 to 100,000 birds die of botulism annually. The disease is commonly called ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clostridium_botulinum

    Depending on the type of botulism considered, different tests for diagnosis may be indicated. Foodborne botulism: serum analysis for toxins by bioassay in mice should be done, as the demonstration of the toxins is diagnostic. [62] Wound botulism: isolation of C. botulinum from the wound site should be attempted, as growth of the bacteria is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canning

    When a canned food is sterilized insufficiently, most other bacteria besides the C. botulinum spores are killed, and the spores can germinate and produce botulism toxin. [30] Botulism is a rare but serious paralytic illness, leading to paralysis that typically starts with the muscles of the face and then spreads towards the limbs. [31]

    While tetanus toxin is produced from Clostridium tetani, a spore forming bacteria found in soil, Tetanus is a paralytic disease that is global and commonly affects newborns as well as non-immunized individuals. Tetanus enters the body of organisms through wounds or skin breaks and can be found in manure, soil, and dust.

    I don't know for sure with infant botulism but in cholera the bacteria are aided in their survival and eventual colonization of the intestines by protection from stomach acid by food and Vibrio cholerae is highly susceptible to acid. Thus, spores consumed without botulism toxin can cause a botulism disease. I believe it is the same deal with ...
