Well the organims is Clostridium botulinum, and we refer to the toxin as botulinum.

The disease is known as flacid paralysis - all your muscles go lose - flacid.

Do you mean the latin name? Or the name that doctors use to describe it?

Doctors call it Botulism intoxication or Botulism or Botulism poisoning.
