>> Botulism is a rare but serious paralytic illness caused by a nerve
>> toxin that is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. There
>> are three main kinds of botulism. Foodborne botulism is caused by
>> eating foods that contain the botulism toxin. Wound botulism is caused
>> by toxin produced from a wound infected with Clostridium botulinum.
>> Infant botulism is caused by consuming the s****es of the botulinum
>> bacteria, which then grow in the intestines and release toxin. All
>> forms of botulism can be fatal and are considered medical emergencies.
>> Foodborne botulism can be especially dangerous because many people can
>> be poisoned by eating a contaminated food.

>> Here, I will quote from your bible.

>> The -ism suffix can be used to express the following concepts:
>>
>> religion or belief system (e.g. Mormonism, Judaism, Satanism)
>> doctrine or philosophy (e.g. pacifism, olympism)
>> theory developed by an individual (e.g. Marxism, Communism)
>> political movement (e.g. feminism, Equalism)
>> artistic movement (e.g. cubism)
>> action, process or practice (e.g. voyeurism)
>> characteristic, quality or origin (e.g. heroism)
>> state or condition (e.g. pauperism)
>> excess or disease (e.g. botulism)
>> prejudice or bias (e.g. racism, ***ism)
>> characteristic speech patterns (e.g. Yogiism, Bu****sm)
>> Many isms are defined as an act or practice by some, while also being
>> defined as the doctrine or philosophy behind the act or practice by
>> others. Examples include activism, altruism, despotism, elitism,
>> optimism, ***ism and terrorism.
>>
>> The first recorded usage of the suffix ism as a separate word in its
>> own right was in 1680. By the nineteenth century it was being used by
>> Thomas Carlyle to signify a pre-packaged ideology.
>>
>> Religion is nothing more than what men do. Botulism is what botuls
