haavobotulismin
Haavobotulismin, also known as botulism in Finnish, is a rare but serious neuromuscular disease caused by the neurotoxin produced by the bacterium *Clostridium botulinum*. The condition primarily affects the nervous system, leading to symptoms such as muscle weakness, blurred vision, and difficulty speaking or swallowing. In severe cases, it can progress to paralysis and even be life-threatening if not treated promptly.
The toxin responsible for botulism, known as botulinum toxin, is one of the most potent biological toxins
Foodborne botulism occurs when a person ingests preformed botulinum toxin in contaminated food, often preserved improperly.
Diagnosis of botulism typically involves clinical evaluation of symptoms, laboratory testing of food or bodily fluids,
Botulism is considered a public health concern due to its potential severity and the difficulty in diagnosing
