It's a bacterium that can produce one of the world's

It lives in lots of places including soil,

So why haven't you died from eating this sweet treat?

As C. botulinum grows, it produces botulinum toxin.

the toxin would attack your nervous system,

which can lead to paralysis and even death.

And since C. botulinum is so common in our environment,

researchers believe that bees pick it up on their way

But before you purge your pantry, consider this.

Normally when we encounter C. Botulinum, like in honey,

In this sleepy state, it can't produce the toxin.

Unless, of course, you're less than 1 year old.

When C. botulinum enters a baby's large intestine,

it comes alive because unlike children and adults,

babies less than 1 year old haven't been eating

But when babies are around 4 to 6 months old,

they stop drinking human milk, and they start eating

other foods that they've never had before.

As a result, their gut microbes change very abruptly,

and it's during this transition period in the baby's gut

that the lethal C. botulinum bacteria are free to grow

As the toxin enters the baby's bloodstream,

it blocks the ability of motor nerves to release

As a result, the baby starts to lose control of muscles

And as more toxin enters the bloodstream, the muscles

that control swallowing and breathing stop working.

Fortunately, infant botulism is not very common,

and infant botulism due to honey is even rarer.

Fewer than 100 cases occur in the US each year,

and while it's difficult to pinpoint the source

experts think that honey accounts for 15%.

So it's important that if your infant shows signs

of weakness, you take them to be evaluated

but it can take babies weeks or a month to recover.

The FDA recommends waiting until your baby's first birthday
