Botulism: Sans Diarrhea

I chose the name because I hear botulism is really catchy, but don't want to give anyone who reads the page diarrhea. That would require a commitment few are willing to make--a raw deal to be sure. So, in an effort to preempt any questions I might receive about the side-effects of my writing, I was sure to include "Sans Diarrhea" in the title. No worries, and no loose stool. I wanted to capture all the contagious, infectious, undercooked fun of botulism without any of the drawbacks. I also wanted to cast a more positive light on a pathogen that often gets a bad rap.
