Can you get botulism from cured meats?
Chef's answer
Cured meats are also susceptible to Clostridium botulinum contamination. Botulism, the disease caused by infection with C. botulinum toxins, was originally named "sausage poisoning," or "Wurstvergiftung," when discovered in Germany, because the bacteria grow in oxygen-deprived environments such as sausage casings.
