A member asked:
I want to make homemade yogurt and it requires "fermenting" the milk and live cultures at 110degrees for 4hrs. can u get botulism from this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Botulism: 145 cases are reported annually and only 15% are food born, usually from contaminated and improperly handled canned foods. So, if you follow proper instructions for food processing (based on the recommendation of US Department of agriculture) the probability is very low
