The rising cases of food and wound contamination are fueling the rising cases of botulism among people. Botulism is a serious illness caused by toxins along with wound infections. The bacteria behind the spread of the disease are known as clostridium botulism. The demand for more information about the disease, its symptoms, and its cure is fueling the growth of the botulism market.
Increased R&D programs funded by governments coupled with the strong efforts by CDC and WHO are pushing authorities to spread awareness around it. The botulism market is thriving due to these high-end research programs that deliver antitoxin for preventing the damage done by the bacteria.
The major factors that drive the growth of the botulism market include an increase in R&D practices, availability of efficient solutions for botulism, lack of hygiene in certain regions of the world, and increase in awareness about disease and treatments.
Different types of botulism involve food-borne botulism, infant botulism, wound botulism, latrogenic botulism, and adult intestinal toxemia botulism. The rising demand for botulism-specific antitoxins has fueled the demand for botulism treatment products.
Wound botulism, being the most common type, demands extra care as the wound needs to be healed along with detoxing the bacteria. While a damaged digestive system also triggers the chances of getting adult intestinal toxemia botulism. The geriatric population and the modern eating habits that revolve around packaged and canned food items are also the major driving factors for the botulism market.
Botulism is a rare but serious fatal paralytic disorder, caused by neurotoxins produced by a bacteria Clostridium botulinum. The symptoms of botulism are classified under foodborne botulism, wound botulism and infant botulism. some common symptoms include weakness, paralysis, vision,swallowing, breathing and speaking problems.
The weakness further leads to fatigue of limb muscles. The symptoms are not caused by the bacterium itself, but by the toxin produced by the bacterium. Children with less than 6 months of age are primarily attacked by this bacteria and may also occur to children with poor immune system.
The bacteria may enter the body through wounds, or by eating them from improperly canned or preserved food.
Patients who survive an episode of botulism poisoning may experience fatigue and shortness of breadth for years and long-term theray may be needed to aid recovery.

Major Factors that Drive the Growth of Botulism Market
There are many factors that directly cause botulism as an effect, such as contact with soil and dust in babies while a wound gets infected from the clostridium botulism bacteria as it gets introduced into the bloodstream.
The unknown eating factors that develop this bacterium and enter the human body can be explained as follows:
Bottled garlic
Canned tomatoes
Carrot juice
Foods kept warm or left unrefrigerated for too long
Oils infused with herbs
Potatoes baked in aluminum foil
Canned cheese sauces
These unknown food habits can lead to the botulism while the treatment involves antitoxins that flushes out the toxins damaging your organs and skin. In some severe cases, doctors also prescribe hospitalization for months.

Botulism Market: Overview
Botulism is generally treated with antitoxin and supportive care. Supportive care for botulism includes monitoring of respiratory function. Antitoxin is required in case of both foodborne and wound botulism. Wounds should be treated, usually surgically, to remove the source of the toxin-producing bacteria followd by administration of appropriate antibiotics.
Mechanical ventilators are needed when there is a breathing problem while rehabilitation therapies are needed in case of speaking or swallowing problem. Health care providersmust tell state health authorities or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about patients with botulism, so that the contaminated food can be removed from stores.
Infants are more prone to unhygienic or contaminated food and hence, they are more prone to this disease.
