According to the FDA, "Botox and Botox Cosmetic (Botulinum toxin Type A) and Myobloc (Botulinum toxin Type B) have been linked in some cases to adverse reactions, including respiratory failure and death, following treatment of a variety of conditions using a wide range of doses." (Science Daily). And it continued to say, "The FDA is not advising health care professionals to discontinue prescribing these products."
Wow, this comes as quite the surprise. Botulism, one of the more deadly toxins, used cosmetically, is actually dangerous. Personally, I did not see this coming. Seriously, who would have expected that a toxin designed to paralyze muscles in a vain attempt to look younger, could possibly cause some sort of harm.
