Kristy Benner's partner Matt Jackson was riding an electric bike through Bordeaux wine country on vacation when he started feeling strange. Nine days later, he's on a breathing machine in a French ICU, unable to open his eyes, communicating only via notes on a whiteboard and infected with botulism. A 32-year-old woman died in France and eight other people remained hospitalized Thursday after an apparent botulism outbreak linked to homemade sardine preserves and the wine bar in Bordeaux.
