I recently had a spike in my botulism fear after some people in the united states passed away from eating nacho cheese infected with the toxin. I just had frozen mozzarella sticks that I baked at a temperature of 450 degrees. It said to bake it for 9 minutes, but I pulled them out at 8 minutes. They were well done to me. Now, my extremely irrational mind is wondering if I have botulism??? Can you get botulism from this type of situation??? And it's driving me nuts that botulism symptoms don't appear until 18 hours after. I have to wait a long time before I can know for sure! I'm really freaking out! Help!
