Botulism

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hello! I left a chocolate in a jacket that I haven't used for 6 years. Six days ago I opened a box where it was stored to clean it in the washing machine and saw the packs all moist. I washed my hands, etc but I put the jacket along with other clothing in the washing machine and now I wonder if it is a risk of botulism to use that clothes. I washed the jacket and the clothing 3 times. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    I would think the chances are almost nil.If you had eaten the chocolate the risk would have been higher, but you didnt, so dont worry.
