A nurse is giving a lecture at a health fair when a member of the audience asks: “Why do people say you shouldn’t eat foods that come from cans that appear to bulge, as if the seal has been broken?” How should the nurse respond?
1. “It may be a sign that botulism toxins are present in foods that have been improperly processed and sealed.”
2. “Arboviruses may be found in canned foods that appear damaged.”
3. “Clostridium tetani occurs in poorly processed foods or damaged cans.”
4. “Open the can, and if no bubbles, bad odor, or change in color is present, you can eat the contents.”

1 -- Botulism bacillus (clostridium botulinum) is found in the soil. Cases of botulism occur from eating improperly canned or cooked foods, especially home-canned vegetables, fruits, smoked meats, and vacuum-packed fish. Signs of botulism include damaged seals on a container, gas bubbles, bad odor, or a color change to the food. Arboviruses are spread by ticks and mosquitoes. Clostridium tetani causes tetanus.
