The Sacramento County Department of Health and Human Services said in a statement last week that the cause of the illness "appears to be prepared food, particularly nacho cheese sauce" from a gas station in Walnut Grove. Botulism is a rare illness caused by nerve toxins released from bacteria, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Symptoms can include blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech and paralysis, among others. Some cases can be fatal.

Cheap gas station nachos that sit under a heat lamp for hours on end. What could possibly go wrong?

Guess I’ll be adding gas station nachos to the list of things I trust more than Hilary Clinton.

I once saw a gas station advertising “reduced price tuna salad.”

I should have got a picture of it.

Depends onthe country

I would trust japanese 711 sushi over some of the nicer restaurants in the USA.

drooping eyelids, slurred speech

Just curious, how many victims had those symptoms before purchasing the nachos?

What was the brand of the cheese sauce that caused the Food Borne Illness (FBI)? Are there any recalls of the lot that was implicated? Why hasn't that been reported?

OTOH, its obvious that Nancy Pelosi ate a full can of the affected cheese as all one has to do is look at her face and its readily apparent.
