nope, it will kill the botulism and releasing the neurotoxin in the child.
SUPOSLY is C
I choose B, but it said it was wrong because of what I'm telling you

In a child of this age, the botulism is most likely due to eating honey, which contains preformed toxin... Concentrations are quit low, so no antitoxin is needed. Eliminating honey from diet and supportive therapy are the only actions are needed.
