I must be going crazy; I could swear I already replied to your thread...
Anyway, rust is not toxic and will not cause you any harm if ingested. It is just oxidized iron molecules.
Botulism is a toxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium Botulinum and it doesn't have anything in common with rust. In canned food, botulism is a result of improperly canned food.
Like others have said, unless you're starving and have no choice, chuck it. Why take a risk for a dollar?
