I said as much. The question is whether botulism is more common than lightning.
Food poisoning is not uncommon, but can be caused by many pathogens, for example E. coli.
Given the fact that we have a common illness but very few confirmations of C. botulinum as the cause, the question stands whether this is really a risk in practice.
