The Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxins produced by the<em> Clostridium botulinum</em>. This toxin bind to the neuron presynaptically and by the exocytosis it enters in the neuron. It has a greater affinity to Cholinergic receptors as compared to the acetylcholine. Hence, the toxin causes the decrease in the release of the acetylcholine molecules.

As a result of the decreased in the release of the acetylcholine the neuro-transmission is blocked, and due to this the person dies.

Hence, the given statement is true.
