The Symptoms of Botulism

Infant botulism is a rare but serious illness that can occur when babies ingest Clostridium botulinum spores or toxins that attack the nervous system. Symptoms may include:

• Constipation
• Change in facial expression
• Ptosis
• Loss of head control
• Drooping eyelids
• Generalized weakness
• Difficulty swallowing, poor feeding
• In severe cases, respiratory failure 

Cook Children’s Expert Recommendation

Mary Suzanne Whitworth, M.D., medical director of Cook Children’s Infectious Diseases, previously advised parents to seek medical attention right away if an infant develops symptoms of botulism. Symptoms can take days or even weeks to appear after exposure. Families with concerns about recalled products or possible symptoms should contact their pediatrician for guidance and evaluation. If the infant is having trouble breathing or severe weakness, it’s best to call 911 immediately or proceed to the nearest emergency department.

The FDA recommends keeping any remaining formula away from children and other food products. Families who purchased the recalled formula may be eligible for a refund through Nara Organics or Target.
