Botulism a Duck Hunter Deterrent?

[Carl Clifford <>]

Dear B-A,

Perhaps duck hunters could be deterred by spreading the word that  
wetlands abound with the Botulism bacteria. Warnings that botulism  
could be contracted by handling dead birds and mud contaminated boots  
and waders may deter some. The idea may require massaging the fact a  
little, but quoting websites such as "Food Poison Journal" and their  
article headed "Botulism Warning to Duck Hunters as Season Nears"  http://www.foodpoisonjournal.com/food-poisoning-watch/botulism-warning-to-duck-hunters-as-season-nears/ 
  may deter some. Admittedly, the risk is mainly to the hunters dogs,  
but hunters are attached to their dogs, and a good hunting dog does  
not come cheap.
