Months after US authorities sounded the alarm, European officials are warning of dangerous possible side effects from the wrinkle-smoothing injection Botox, according to a German news report.
The London-based European Medicines Agency had by August 2007 recorded more than 600 cases of negative effects potentially linked to the popular cosmetic treatment, Focus news weekly reported in its issue to be released Monday.
In 28 cases Botox users died.
While potentially devestating news to people trying to pretend they're 16 again, once you realize what botox is, it's not all that shocking.
The botulinum toxin is a natural poison found in decomposing food that is 40 million times more powerful than cyanide.
Injecting poison into yourself is bad? Whoda thunk it?
We banned wood treated with CCA because it contained small amounts of arsenic. Yet the FDA only notes that injecting something 40 million times more toxic than cyanide is a bad idea. No ban? What the hell good are they?
