double vision,
blurred vision,
drooping eyelids,
slurred speech,
difficulty swallowing,
dry mouth, and
muscle weakness.
Infants with botulism:
appear lethargic,
feed poorly,
are constipated,
have a weak cry, and
have poor muscle tone.
These are all symptoms of the muscle paralysis caused by the bacterial toxin. If untreated, these symptoms may progress to cause paralysis of the respiratory muscles, arms, legs, and trunk.
In foodborne botulism, symptoms generally begin 18 to 36 hours after eating a contaminated food, but they can occur as early as 6 hours or as late as 10 days.
If you or someone you know has symptoms suggestive of botulism, consult a healthcare provider or go to the emergency room.
