Just ate around two tablespoons of salsa that appeared carbonated, is there a risk i could be infected with botulism or should i not be worried?

Very unlikely: Chandler, the likelyhood of botulism from a not definite exposure is pretty minimal. If he starts to get weak or have trouble breathing, call your doctor. Hope this helps!
