The condition which is most likely to cause death of a botulism patient is Respiratory failure.

Explanation:

The causal organism of Botulism is the bacteria <em>Clostridium botulinum.</em>

Botulism mainly effects the neuromuscular system of the body. .

The basic symptoms of botulism is characterised by weaknes in limbs , jaws and eyes.

A decreased muscular activity sometimes causes constipation due to slowed down peristalsis.

Sometimes nausea , vomiting and diarrhea may occur.

If left untreated and in severe cases, the toxins may proceed to effect the respiratory muscle thus hindering the proper breathing and gaseous exchange.

A further damage could result in the respiratory failure.

Give Jeason: si System is accepted by all nations in the world.<br>​
zubka84 [21]

it's very practical, because it's on base 10, so conversion between stuff like meters to kilometer is always just a multiplication with 10 to some power

like 1 km = 1000m (10³m)

or 1 m = 10^-3km = 0.001km

same reason for other SI units.

except time, that's base 60, or 12, or 24. that's more complicated, but there isn't any real competition
