Public health officials in California are investigating an outbreak of botulism infections related to family events on June 21 and 22 in Clovis, CA.
Staff from the California Department of Public Health and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are working together on the investigation.
During a news conference, Dr. Rais Vohra, Interim Health Officer for Fresno County, said the outbreak is a reminder of how important it is to follow proper guidelines for home canning. The food served at the family gatherings was prepared by family members. It can take up to 10 days for symptoms of botulism infection to appear.
