The Fresno County Department of Public Health was featured in the CDC's latest Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report on foodborne botulism. See the report here: bit.ly/4ezFlOe
Botulism antitoxin is available through CDC and must be given rapidly to be effective. Multiagency response to an outbreak caused by improperly canned food, highlighted how CDC and partners delivered antitoxin via helicopter to save 8 lives! bit.ly/4ezFlOe

Kudos to Rais Vohra, MD, and team including @healthyfresnoco for their rapid response to save lives and protect public health from foodborne botulism. Clinicians, read this. #ucsffresno #publichealth #botulism
Clinicians: If you suspect botulism, immediately notify your local or state health department. Early calls help CDC and the health department respond faster and deliver lifesaving antitoxin sooner. Read about a response that saved 8 lives: bit.ly/4ezFlOe
