What are the differences between the actions of curare and that of botulism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Source & action: Curare is a plant poison while botulism comes from a bacterial spore. Botulism interferes with the neurotransmitter acetylcholine while curare interferes with one of ACh's receptors - the muscarinic receptor found in the parasympathetic system. Out of curiousity why do u ask?
