Botox is literally one of the most common ways to deal with your wrinkles in the country. There are even doctors accepting different imitations of botox, which are often toxic in even greater ways, because they want to save money and frankly they don’t want to buy strictly from Allergan. This being said, botox is basically a small amount of the botulism toxin in all truth, which is scary in itself.
I mean you are basically injecting a toxin into yourself. But they say that because it’s just a small amount, it’s safe. Well, there would be others that would beg to differ. Between 1997 and 2006, there have been 180 cases of life threatening conditions, 16 deaths, 87 hospitalized, and you get the idea. Botox has many uses keep in mind, not just wrinkles. So 4 of the deaths were actually in children.
This being said, there have been 658 other reports of adverse side effects and problems, and they keep coming in. The most common are things like an eye drooping or something like that. But sometimes it gets into constricting the airways, causing serious irritation, allergic reactions, and things like that which eventually lead to hospitalization or death. So botox is definitely not something to be taken lightly.
