C. botulinum endospores is a potent nerve toxin that is rare and causes a paralysis disease called Botulism. Ingestion of Botulin toxins from contaminated food is the main causative agent of the Botulism. These spores are heat resistant, efficiently grow at low, or in absence of oxygen to produce more spores. The spores sometimes survive in the proper cooked and processed food.
