Initiate Infection Control Measures
Prophylactic equine antitoxin for asymptomatic persons who have ingested a food known to contain botulinum toxin is not recommended. Because of the danger of hypersensitivity reactions, the decision to administer antitoxin requires careful consideration. Consultation about antitoxin use may be obtained from the state health department or the CDC.
