💨 Abstract

Two people have died and over 17 are hospitalized due to botulism from broccoli and sausage sandwiches sold by an Italian food truck. Botulism, caused by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, attacks the nervous system leading to muscle paralysis. Symptoms include blurred vision, fatigue, and breathing difficulties. Recently, there was another case linked to guacamole at a festival in Sardinia.
