A member asked:
I opened a fizzy side can (7up) and i noticed the can was swollen i didn't drink it and threw it away should i be worried about botulism?

There are 2 reasons you shouldn't be worried: 1) you didn't drink it and 2) botulism usually comes from eating improperly home-preserved foods like soups, sauces, meat etc., where the heat is insufficient to kill any Clostridium botulinum bacteria that may have gotten into the food. Carbonated beverages are, to say the least, different.
