Bootulism Or Guillan-Barre Syndrome
Tara Dactyl was a 6-year-old girl from Jurassic Park, Maryland. She was admitted into the hospital two days ago from experiencing paralysis in her face, muscle weakness and slurred speech. Doctors have been working nonstop to find out what is wrong, hoping she does not become completely paralyzed. They are waiting for lab results to come back from Tara’s feces sample. The doctors think that Tara is experiencing botulism or Guillan-Barre Syndrome, both have similar symptoms. The thing doctors should be expecting and looking for is me, Clostridium botulinum. I am located on food that is improperly packaged and cooked. I give people a life-threatening food poisoning that not many people survive. I am one of the most dangerous poisonings known,

I thought that I was finally free when I entered Tara; I was ready to do my job. I released more toxins when I got in and they bonded to the nerve endings of Tara’s joint muscles. First, I cause my victims to have nausea, vertigo and weakening. Then, I bring upon neurological symptoms like blurred vision, slurred speech and fatigue. My last thing to do is slowly cause paralysis from head to toe, this then brings upon death if not treated early (Clark, n.d.). Tara could have easily avoided me but was an easy victim. All Tara’s mom had to do was either can the green beans I was living on properly, or she could have cooked me properly at a high temperature for over ten minutes. The doctors gave Tara antitoxin just in time, for I was already making my way down to her chest. Once I would’ve gotten to her chest, she would be in big trouble. By causing Tara’s paralysis to move to her chest, she would of no longer been able to breath. If Tara would no longer be able to breath, my job would be done because she would then die, and I would have made my cycle
