Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is- Avoid using food from dented canned

Explanation:

Botulism is a disease caused by a toxin released by anaerobic bacteria Clostridium botulinum. Dented cans are one of the biggest culprits that cause this disease in the human population. Dented cans provide a suitable environment for the growth of Clostridium bacteria.

When a can get damaged or dented it get exposed to the outer environment from where Clostridium botulinum contamination can occur. In closed can, these bacteria get anaerobic conditions to grow and synthesize toxins.  

Consuming this toxin causes foodborne intoxication called botulism which can be fatal for the patient. Therefore dented can should be avoided to buy and consume.
