It became ill after eating deteriorated sausages and was named botulism. ldquo; botulusrdquo; means Latin sausage. In recent years, there are four clinical types of botulism: ingestion botulism, infant botulism, traumatic botulism and inhalation botulism. Clinically, neurological symptoms are the main clinical manifestations, and the mortality rate is high.
