Botulism is an anaerobic bacteria, which means it does not need oxygen to survive. It has become widly recognized for its use in the beauty industry under the label Botox. The muscle paralyzing tendency that keeps brows from furrowing may have deadly results when not administered by doctor in tiny amounts. Botulism poisoning is serious and can be fatal. Thankfully the four individuals who first spurred the recall are expected to survive.
