Make sure you read this guide before you start canning:

This will talk about low acidity foods, using water baths, raising the acid level using lemon juice, vinegar and tomatoes, and dangers of botulism. The ideal way to finish this recipe is using a pressure canner to get the canning temp up to 250F (versus 212F in a water bath). Again, you cannot do stuff like zucchini, pumpkin and other low acidity veggies using a water bath (without adding acids to get the overall pH below 4.5).

Botulism is a very real danger. That being said, there are roughly 130 cases of botulism per year in the US from food related vectors, and only about 30 are estimated to be from canning at home. So the danger is real, but it's also not something to paralyze you from canning your own food. It's just something you need to understand before you get started.
