Answer: Foodborn botulism or Botulism

Step-by-step explanation:

Foodborn botulism is caused by the invasion of a gram positive rod shaped bacteria that releases toxins in the food. When this food is ingested into the human body, then this disease occurs.

In this condition, the person might die if not provided with proper medication soon after he has eaten the affected food. Symptoms are: difficulty in swallowing and eating, paralysis or facial weakness.

This problem mainly occurs after taking bulged canned food which can lead to a fatal condition if not cured on time.

Thus, the correct answer is foodborn botulism or botulism.
