Botulism: 10 Symptoms of Botulism

Symptom #9: Drooping Eyelids
When we get tired, our eyelids will often tend to droop. This is simply down to them becoming tired, making it difficult for them to keep the eyes fully awake. Sometimes, though, it can also be a symptom of a potentially serious condition, such as botulism.
Many people with botulism will experience drooping eyelids. This is because the muscles are becoming paralyzed by the toxins flowing through the body in an effect that is similar to using some types of drug. If you are suddenly experiencing this symptom, you should arrange to get it checked out as soon as you can.
