Only dishes that have been exposed to botulinum bugs or what they infected would carry the toxin. Washing with soap will kill the bug and the water will wash away the toxins. I would rinse and put in dishwasher. If you are not sick now I would think you are home free. You should subscribe to uptodate.com for 1 month, read all about botulinum and anxiety disorders and then discuss with your Dr.
