    AbstractBOTULISM AND BIOWARFARE: Botulism is a severe neuro-paralysing infection due to a toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum. The use of the botulinum toxin for terrorist aims in the form of aerosols is a perfectly credible eventuality. The botulinum toxin is the most potent toxin known; it is easy to produce and can lead to massive destruction.
