Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Botulism bacteria can grow in improperly canned or preserved foods, so it is important to avoid using food from damaged or bulging cans of vegetables to reduce the risk. While washing foods and hands is generally a good practice, it may not specifically reduce the risk of botulism. Using well water may be a concern for infants and children, but it is not directly related to botulism. Avoiding fresh vegetables is not necessary unless they are improperly canned or preserved.
