The following links provide more information about botulism.

bullet"width=10 This website, maintained by the Alaska State Division of Public Health, is the best resource for information about botulism in Alaska. It discusses characteristics of botulism cases in Alaska, including the location of outbreaks and the implicated foods, as well as clinical information which may be of interest to health care providers.
