Solution
The answer is Botulism.
Botulism is a rare but serious paralytic illness caused by a nerve toxin that is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. There are several types of botulism, including foodborne botulism, wound botulism, and infant botulism.
In addition, botulinum toxins have been used as a warfare agent. During World War II, the United States developed a botulinum toxin as a possible military weapon, and during the Cold War, the Soviet Union reportedly produced botulinum toxins for use in biological weapons.
