I know a lot of folks who participated and didn't appear harmed...
... but I also know people would sometimes get sick (even die) due to botulism.
When I was young, it was understood that, when you opened a can, you examined it carefully to make sure it hadn't "leaked". You'd see mold.
You wouldn't trust a can that was puffed up. That was somewhat common.
Not 100% effective, of course.
I doubt the cans caused retardation but could easily cause other issues.
