Dale,

Got caught in a difference of opinion re: botulism on a NG not long ago
so had cause to check out the facts. There has been one death due to
botulism in Australia in the last 9 years, and that was infant botulism
in Adelaide. To find a case of an adult dying of botulism in Australia,
you have to go back 14 years.

So maybe your chances are higher (or lower) than you think...!
