Three Oregonians were hospitalized with boutlism after eating at a private barbecue, according to state health officials.
The Clostridium botulinum bacteria that infected these individuals is thought to have come from home-canned foods served at the event, held in Deschutes County. All three victims were residents of the county, located in central Oregon.
The public should see this outbreak as an example of the dangers of improper home canning, warns the agency.
