Botox - Warning

In case anyone here usues Botox, consider the following...

"...according to Health
Canada, "the labels on Botox (botulinum toxin type A) products are being
changed to warn that use may result in spread of the toxin to other
parts of the body, potentially with fatal consequences." Following a
recent "safety review of distant toxin spread from Botox and Botox
Cosmetic products," manufactured by Allergan, Inc., the agency said that
"symptoms of 'distant toxin spread'" may "include muscle weakness,
swallowing difficulties, pneumonia, speech disorders, and breathing
problems." Health Canada said that "Canadians who use Botox and Botox
Cosmetic products should immediately seek medical care if they develop
swallowing, speech, or breathing problems after use," and warned those
"with a history of neurological disorders, swallowing difficulties,
and/or breathing problems" to exercise the utmost caution. "
