TREATMENT OF BOTULISM
Foodborne botulism - If diagnosed early, antitoxin should be administered to block the actions of the exotoxin. If respiratory failure has set in, mechanical ventilator and intensive care is required.
Infant botulism - Remove the contaminated food by inducing vomiting and enemas. Good supportive care is further required for recovery.
Wound botulism - Administration of antitoxins to neutralize the exotoxin, surgical debridement and excision of the effected area, followed by the required supportive treatment.
