Food poisoning is highly unlikely to be botulism.

No. Botulism is related to canned goods.


They ate food that could have been prepared with canned foods, no?


At a high end resort? Doubtful.


I heard on news they ate dinner off the resort.


+1 Local restaurant in the vicinity.

You can also get botulism from fermented foods - including food you didn't mean to ferment like baked potatoes wrapped in foil or garlic in oil.

I would not generally lump Costa Rica in with those other countries. They don’t have the same issues.


It’s still considered Central America.

I thought I read the attending physician said the nausea med didn’t cause a reaction.

I don’t think anyone’s posted about this yet. Is anyone following this? Another mysterious death while on tropical vacation. Very sad.
