Default Botulism, Grant County, Washington State 2016


News media is saying botulism occurrence possibly owing to home canning.

__________________________________________________ __

The Grant County Health District (GCHD) is investigating two deaths in Grant County for their likely connection to a rare, muscle-paralyzing disease.
Health District officials believe the two deaths were caused by botulism. The source of the disease is not yet confirmed, but it is believed the source was home-canned food.

The victims were in their 80s and lived together, but health officials say the disease can affect people of any age.
