Reply to comment by [deleted] in Why can an adult’s GI tract expel C. botulinum spores while an infant can’t? by curiousnboredd
Botulinum bacteria are a soil bacteria. You're much more likely to get botulism from incorrectly prepared root vegetables than from fruits.
Garlic in oil is one of the notorious ones, also baked potatoes in aluminium foil (held at improper temperature), or prison "wine" (often has potato scraps added to boost starch content)
