What happens when a patient is poisoned by botulism?
A) increased respiratory rate
B) blurry, double vision
C) constricted pupils
D) increased acetylcholine release

Accepted Answer

One of the main symptoms of botulism poisoning is blurry, double vision, which is caused by the toxin affecting nerves involved in eye movement.

Answer: A, C, D are incorrect
 Botulism poisoning does not lead to an increased respiratory rate, constricted pupils, or increased acetylcholine release. In fact, it causes respiratory paralysis, dilated pupils, and decreased acetylcholine release.
