Though, one time I accidentally “preserved” a jar of prepared wheat paste when I apparently did not allow for it to cool all the way before screwing on the lid.
& I keep that jar in the back of my fridge (it actually looks a lot like my sourdough starter) but I’ll never open that jar or use it for anything, because it’s probably just full of #botulism; it’s just fridge art now
& like ten years ago (when I would have been most likely to pick something like this up) I saw an old episode of Emergency! on Netflix, where there’s a #botulism outbreak that originates from some canned mushrooms in a dish of #stroganoff; & after that it was all over for me
pretty sure the reason I’ve never gotten into canning/preserves is that my anxiety has always somewhat overexaggerated the threat of #botulism

What Is #Botulism?
📌 Clostridium botulinum are found naturally in soil, dust, and rocks. These bacteria themselves do not make people sick. But in certain environments (very low oxygen levels), they produce a toxin, which can be dangerous when ingested.
📌 People with suspected botulism should be hospitalized for progressive weakness and paralysis and possible need for breathing support. Antitoxin therapy should be given as soon as possible.
@TheLastOfHisName What's a "facebook"? Is it some kind of laxative, or new toilet paper? Maybe it's a variant of #ebola, or #botulism? I sure hope i never catch it; euw! 🤮
