(AHN) - Three more people have been sickened by botulism toxin in carrot juice made by Bolthouse Farms.
Two people from Toronto, Canada were hospitalized with paralysis after drinking the contaminated carrot juice.
Jylmarie Kintz, Hillsborough County Health Department epidemiologist, told the Associated Press that a woman in Florida has been in the hospital since mid-September. She remains unresponsive.
Three people in Georgia are hooked on ventilators after drinking the carrot juice in early September.
Botulism causes double vision, droppy eyelids, and makes speaking and swallowing difficult. It can also cause paralysis that hampers breathing.
Bolthouse announced a recall of carrot juice with a sell date of Nov. 11 in the U.S. Canada, Mexico and Hong Kong.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is investigating the infected juice.
