How common is botulism?
How can botulism be prevented?
What are the symptoms of botulism?
   the answers to these and many more questions can be found at
the web pages of the Center for Disease Control.
http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/foodborn/botu.htm
   and from the USDA , the "Gateway to Government Food Safety
Information"
may be found at http://www.foodsafety.gov/
   as well (although the server was down when i last checked) the USDA
"Home Canning Guides" at
 http://ext.usu.edu/publica/foodpubs.htm

there's plenty of info out there folks, so take advantage of what the
health
pro's are offering to help us "can" safely at home.
