One of ten known victims of a botulism outbreak tied to a nacho cheese dispenser at a Sacramento area gas station, 22-year-old Karina Uroza, is one of the lucky ones. As she tells KRON 4, she was hospitalized in February after experiencing blurred vision and loss of motor control, and spent several weeks in the ICU. “I thought, ‘Oh, they’re gonna give me an injection, and I’m gonna go home,'” Uroza said, but instead she spent well over a month hospitalized, and had to drop out of UC Davis for the semester.

Doctors said she could have a year of recovery time, but she seems to be fully recovered in less than half that time. She returned to school, and she hopes to graduate this year with a degree in psychology.

Less lucky were some of the other victims, only a couple of whom have been identified so far. 33-year-old Lavinia Kelly came in contact with the cheese sauce in April, and she remains hospitalized. And one victim, 37-year-old Martin Galindo-Larios, died last month.

While botulism can be fatal, it's said that only three to five percent of cases end in death.
