It can result from eating food that has been contaminated with the toxin (foodborne botulism) or ingesting food,dust or soil that contains bacteria that produce the toxin (intestinal botulism) or contaminating a wound with the bacteria (wound botulism).
Intestinal botulism affecting children under 12 months of age is known as infant botulism. This is the most common form of botulism.
