spectrachic311 said: "Botulism, or Clostridium botulinum toxin A poisoning, is one of the most deadly forms of food poisoning there is, only because it's not the bacteria that make you sick, it's the toxin they make. To avoid botulism poisoning, check your canned/pasteurized juices/vegetables to make sure there is no bulging of the container at all. C. botulinum produces a lot of gas in anaerobic conditions (no oxygen)."

HDales said: "Of course not all carrot juices. Botulism has been found in certian 100% carrot juice drinks and its paralyzed 2 in canada and at least one in the states. There are 2 cases in canada and 4 in the states linked to this. Here is a link for more info!
