        Milk powder contaminated with clostridium botulinum is relatively rare, but honey, sometimes will be botulinum spores of pollution. Before the emergence of infant botulism is basically because of the death of a baby to eat honey. Therefore, for a small baby, honey is more dangerous. 
 
        Botulinum toxin and its spore itself are not toxic, but if the conditions are right, can produce the botulinum toxin, bigger toxicity. 
 
        Botox is found in some big sauce, bean paste, and fermented dried meat. And its spores in soil and dust, sometimes pollution honey. Botox when not feeling well, like a cocoon, with some protein and sugar material to wrap his form spore, general processing method can't kill it. So it back into the appropriate environment, such as one of the gut, it can wake up again, produce toxins. 
 
        Because the adult normal intestinal flora had fallen on his feet, a small amount of botulinum outwitted them, so the risk of adult is relatively small. But if the baby, especially in babies under one year of age, the normal flora is still in the stage of construction, then eat the botulinum spores, may cause great influence to the baby.
