Usage Note

Botulímico is a non-standard spelling; the conventional medical adjective relating to botulism or the botulinum toxin is botulínico (toxina botulínica). Learners are far more likely to encounter toxina botulínica or simply botulismo in practice. The feminine form follows the same pattern (botulínica).

Examples

"El médico detectó una intoxicación botulímica grave."
