How Badly Do You Want to Get Rid of Your Wrinkles?

A new study indicates that Botox, the ever-popular anti-wrinkle treatment, may actually migrate from a recipient’s face to their brain. As you have no doubt heard, Botox is made with botulism toxin. Botulism toxin is one of the world’s most poisonous substances and can cause paralysis, respiratory failure and death.

The study, published in the latest issue of the Journal of Neuroscience, was released only weeks after the FDA announced that it was beginning a safety review of Botox and other similar drugs.

Is a wrinkle free face worth it if you have to risk a brain full of botulism? We know you want to look good in front of a jury, but we hope you consider learning to love your wrinkles. It may just save your life.
