The popular antiwrinkle drug Botox and a competitor have been linked to dangerous botulism symptoms in some users, the Food and Drug Administration warned, in some cases so bad that a few children given the drugs for muscle spasms have died.

 

Even though this is a different use then the approved use to visibly reduce the appearance of brow lines, it's the ame action - botuliam is injected into the blood to cause paralysis. What are we doing to ourselves in the name of beauty? There must be alternatives that are safer.
