Question - Incarcerated individuals who drink “pruno” (fermented fruit, sugar, water and other ingredients) are at risk for what life-threatening illness?
Answer- The cited reference notes “When people make pruno, they usually ferment fruit, sugar, water, and other common ingredients for several days in a sealed plastic bag. Making alcohol this way can cause botulism germs to make toxin (poison).”( https://www.cdc.gov/botulism/pruno-a-recipe-for-botulism.html: accessed September 2019)
