A mother and two daughters have died due to botulism in Ouarzazate in south-central Morocco, according to a L’Economiste report (computer translated). It is reported that the father was not sickened as he was traveling at the time.
The source of the botulism has not been pinpointed to date.
Food borne botulism is a severe intoxication caused by eating the preformed toxin present in contaminated food.
