    Couple die in SA drinking Home Brew

    10 to 36 hours typically for Botulism to show symptoms. Also if you dig back to the real story and when it broke it is not clear that it was an immediate effect. The woman died over the weekend in their flat while the husband managed to call somebody and only died when he was in hospital a day...
