Botulism is usually caused by a type of bacteria that grows in the intestines. The bacteria can make our intestines produce water and then stop it from flowing out of our bodies. This causes paralysis and death if not treated early enough.
The same bacterium is responsible for botulism and can cause multiple types of damages – both mental and physical ones (such as paralysis or even death).
