Housil, if that was Botulism, i can say then in 2015, i got sick with E. Coli & botulism at 2 different points in the year! That's scary stuff. No idea what else coulda been wrong with the 1977 chicken stew other than bad dry milk in it? I may never know.

I became ill after drunkingly eating a nasty pink taco. Not sure if that counts.

I treat my Liver much the same way.
I have had better luck with MRE's and rations than what has come out of the galley or mess. Some of that freshly prepared and properly supervised was neither - more than once.
