Overview

Classically, the treatment for botulism has been to deliver an antitoxin to the patient once exposed. Also, putting the patient on a mechanical ventilator has been a successful treatment method because patients with botulism have extreme trouble breathing on their own. Even though these treatments have been successful, there have been tests on a new drug that will block potassium channels in order to restore neuromuscular function after botulinum intoxication.
