1 person announced dead and 9 in the hospital after eating contaminated nacho cheese. The cheese was sold out of a gas station outside Sacremento and tested positive for toxins released by bacteria that caused the illness. The same bacterias were found in the patients. The illness, called Botulism, is extremely rare and is caused by nerve toxins that get released by bacteria.
I am so thankful that we have made so many advancements in medicine and technology that we can test and diagnose these problems as well as stop them in the future. It is very sad that people are suffering due to some nachos but hopefully this will give us more information on how to prevent illnesses like these.

That is so scary that this has happened. Something so simple and undetectable to the naked eye can make you so sick.
