Cauda equina nerve root enhancement in adult intestinal toxemia botulism [PDF]
BMC NeurologyBackground Adult botulism is a rare, life-threatening condition typically caused by exposure to preformed botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT). Acute intestinal toxemia botulism (AITB) is an uncommon subtype resulting from colonization of Clostridium botulinum in

Snake and spider toxins induce a rapid recovery of function of botulinum neurotoxin paralysed neuromuscular junction [PDF]
, 2015 Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) and some animal neurotoxins (-Bungarotoxin, -Btx, from elapid snakes and -Latrotoxin, -Ltx, from black widow spiders) are pre-synaptic neurotoxins that paralyse motor axon terminals with similar clinical outcomes in patients.
