Two things:

1. "We've had it tested," Dailey said, "and each time it's shown the
crab was good."

That's not how botulism works.

A tiny little speck of it grows into a wad in the middle of the thing
you're testing the edge of.

You test a dot and it comes up negative. Someone dumps the rest into
their family-favorite seafood salad and spends their remaining 24 hours
paralyzed.

2. "since August"

I never want to hear that phrase around crabmeat again, unless it's
accompanied by "at 30 below".
