Death Linked to Botulism Reported in Napa County

A second death from botulism in Northern California. Napa County health officials confirmed Wednesday a death tied to botulism reported in the last month. The death is not related to the botulism outbreak linked to contaminated nacho-cheese sold at a gas station in the Sacramento suburb of Walnut Grove. In that case, one person died and nine other became sick. Botulism is a rare kind of food poisoning that can lead to paralysis, breathing difficulty and sometimes death.
