A member asked:
I consumed musrooms, a month ago, stored in a plastic ziploc bag for a couple months. i had difficulty breathing and pains in my chest. after a couple weeks the left side of my body felt weak, but my breathing is improving. could i have had botulism?

Botulism: Your symptoms were suggestive of botulism but not diagnostic and since your respiratory system showed improvement you were fortunate if you were indeed exposed to the botulism toxin. An expert in infectious disease could advise you best about this matter and inform you on whether some testing now could establish earlier exposure to the toxin.
