Botox poses serious, irreversible health risks

A new report reveals potential serious and irreversible health complications associated with Botox, a cosmetic treatment used by millions of Americans. Experts warn against its use due to risks of Iatrogenic Botulism and other long-term issues. The neurotoxin, derived from bacteria, can spread beyond the injection site, causing muscle weakness, paralysis, and even death. The report highlights a rise in adverse reactions, including cases of botulism, even with standard doses. While some experts downplay the risks, citing proper administration as key, the report raises concerns about long-term effects and muscle atrophy. The FDA is urged to strengthen warnings on Botox products.
