Botchulism in dented tins???
My mother made me throw away a dented can of beans today. She's insisting that you can catch botchulism from dented cans! Is that really true?

I think it causes paralysis and comes from some sort of toxin. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

It's botulism, it's an extremely serious but rare form of food poisoning.
It sometimes occurs from canned food, but that's really home canned food, not really something we go in for here, more in the U.S. http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/he.asp?articleID=57

Clostridium botulinum is a bacterium that causes botulism. It can cause death by paralysis. It's really rare but is associated with canned foods. People have no trouble with preparations of the toxin being injected into their face though... as panthro said.
