No, botulism is not spread by droplet infection. It is primarily caused by the ingestion of toxins produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, often through contaminated food. In some cases, it can also occur through wound infections or in infants through the ingestion of spores. However, it is not transmitted from person to person like respiratory infections.
