    ACC does not cover cases like this, involving bacteria. The people who suffered from the bad water up North were not covered by ACC either.

    How they got it would be interesting to know, bad meat handling (botulism is a bacteria that lives in the soil) or whatever. But it is rare in NZ, last case was in 1983. So I wouldn't worry too much.
    Last case I remember being told about was a chap who fired up his dinner on a frying pan that hadn't been washed in 10 days. Succumbed to severe death shortly thereafter. Like within half an hour.
    So botulism can work very quickly.
    I worry more about tainted cutlery and plates in a hut, than about the meat off a freshly killed wild pig or deer.

    About the most you can take from this case so far, is that curry will not kill botulism.
    No it is not botulism until such time as the specimen results are received from Australia that provide incontrovertible proof.this theory of it looks like a duck ,quacks like a duck flys like a duck 'is not 100%applicable and i dont give a rats arse who disagrees.we see this all the bloody time with mental illness -people who diagnose cause they think the symptoms fit a specific type .WRONG.this sort of shit is rampant these days due to the internet and the ability to self diagnose often due to quack sites.
