Endorsement: "Recognizing Botulism chronicles the devastating power of botulism to turn a joyful event - be it a family hike, a dinner party, a club luncheon - into tragedy. With botulism's disparate symptoms and inconsistent trajectory, it's easy to see why misdiagnoses were (and still are) common. The narratives and resulting takeaways that Talkington includes here will both captivate and inform readers. I found myself drawn into the stories of people whose very lives might hinge on having eaten half an olive. I also developed a far greater understanding of this deadly disease and the ability to recognize its varied symptoms." - Dr. Cheryl Duffy, English Professor
This book makes a major contribution to a misunderstood disease in medicine. These insights are relevant to today's diagnostic challenge. The perspective provided by these harrowing narratives creates a rare understanding of the complex symptomatology of botulism that has been long-forgotten - until now.
