Many of the methods used in participatory research are drawn from mainstream disciplines and conventional research itself involves varying degrees of participation. The key difference between participatory and conventional methodologies lies in the location of power in the research process.
Symptoms of botulism usually start around 7-10 days after contamination. The botulinum toxins block the action of the nerves on the muscles. As a result, the first signs of botulism are muscle weakness and poor co-ordination. In the early stages the horse has muscle tremors.
The symptoms of botulism make hospitalization necessary. If diagnosed early, foodborne and wound botulism can be treated with an antitoxin that is maintained by the Centers for Disease Control.The antitoxin reduces the progression of paralysis and may reduce the severity and duration of symptoms.ow soon after exposure do symptoms occur? Generally, symptoms begin 12-36 hours after eating contaminated food, but may occur as early as a few hours and as late as 10 days. The incubation period for intestinal (infant) botulism is unknown, though estimated at 3 to 30 days from the time of exposure.
