    It can cause many air borne diseases or protozoal diseases like amoebiasis salmonella giardia ascariasis or any other disease cause by unhygenic food but certainly not botulism as mentioned in one post as Clostridium botulin is an anaerobic bact.

    If you cook it nicely abv boiling the disease causin pathogens will be neutralized.

    probably food poisoning. maybe salmonella, it depends on what kind of food it is. I wouldn't take the chance, but the disease might leave if you cook it depending on how high the heat is.
