## 根因

金属罐侧缝上的凹痕可能造成微小的开口，使肉毒杆菌孢子进入并产生致命毒素；在毒素形成之前，罐头可能不会膨胀，而膨胀是变质的晚期信号。

## 解决方案

1. ```
   Discard any can with a dent on the side seam, regardless of size. Do not taste the food. Wrap the can in a plastic bag and dispose in a sealed trash container. Example: `If dented on seam → do not open → discard immediately`
   ```
2. ```
   If the can has a dent on the top or bottom rim (not the side seam), it may be safe, but boil the contents for 10 minutes before consuming to denature any potential toxin
   ```

## 无效尝试

- **Boil the contents for 10 minutes to kill any botulinum toxin** — Botulinum toxin is denatured at 185°F for 5 minutes, but spores survive; boiling does not destroy spores, and the food may still cause illness if spores germinate after opening (99% 失败率)
- **Inspect the can for bulging before opening; if no bulge, it's safe** — Toxin can be present without bulging; bulging is caused by gas from bacterial growth, which may not occur if only spores entered (80% 失败率)
