Prevention from Botulism

It is possible for you to prevent the occurrences of Botulism, by avoiding the factors that cause the condition. Given below are a few recommendations that can help in the prevention of Botulism:

When you can foods at home, make sure that you follow the proper canning techniques, so that any Botulism germs present in the food get destroyed.
Before you consume any home-canned food, you may want to boil it for at least 10 minutes or so. Alternately, you could pressure-cook these foods at 250 degrees F for around 30 minutes.
Do not eat, or even taste foods that appear to have gone bad. You can usually tell that the food has gotten spoiled if its package bulges or if it has a strange smell.
Make sure that all the food you consume has been prepared and stored in the right manner.
Avoid giving infants that are below one year of age even the smallest amount of honey or corn syrup.
