Botulism is caused by botulinun toxin, that is produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum on anaerobic conditions.
The toxin attacks by entering the body in three ways : 1) colonization of the digestive tract in children which is called infant botulism, in adults by ingestion of toxin through ingestion of food, which is called food borne botulism, and the third way a wound may be contaminated by the bacterium, and in this case it is called wound botulism.
Whatever the form, a paralysis starts with the muscles of the face, spreading towards the limbs. When the form is severe, the paralysis of the breathing muscles causes respiratory failure. This life-threatening trouble is treated as a medical emergency, leading public health officials preventing further cases of the same source.

Unfortunately, one cannot tell whether their food is infected with botulism if they are just testing from their home. Food science laboratories need to be accessed and utilized in order for one to find signs of botulism in food.
Foodborne botulism comes from eating food that has the botulism toxin in it. Foodborne botulism usually comes from eating home-canned food. Any food may have botulism. Botulism is tasteless, odorless, and has no color. Wound botulism comes from having a sore, a cut, or a skin opening. Wound botulism usually comes from injecting street drugs.
