Final answer:

Difficulty swallowing would NOT be associated with infant botulism.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sign/symptom that would NOT be associated with infant botulism is d) Difficulty swallowing.



According to the provided information, early symptoms of botulism include blurred vision, drooping eyelids, abdominal cramps, constipation, and difficulty swallowing. However, in infants, notable signs of botulism include a weak cry, decreased ability to suckle, and hypotonia (limpness of head or body).



Therefore, among the given options, difficulty swallowing would NOT be associated with infant botulism.
