Keira Glasgow, Director of NSW Health’s One Health branch, said the illness can be fatal.
“Early symptoms of foodborne botulism include weakness, fatigue and vertigo,” Glasgow said.
“While these symptoms occur commonly due to a number of health conditions, with botulism it is usually followed by blurred vision, dry mouth and difficulty swallowing. Nausea and vomiting may also occur.
