Botulinum Toxin is a protein most known for causing the potentially fatal illness botulism. The protein is produced by three species of bacterium, primarily ''Clostridium botulism'', but is also produced by ''Clostridium baratii'' and ''Clostridium butyricum''. ''Clostridium botulism'' is commonly found in soil, marine sediments, and the gut of grazing animals. When exposed to humans through inhalation, ingestion, or surface wounds, the botulinum toxin acts as a neurotoxin. | Botulinum Toxin is a protein most known for causing the potentially fatal illness botulism.
