Its been suggested that I may have been injected with contaminated Botox based on my side effects. How dangerous is this? The headaches have not stopped for five months now.

Answer: Injected with contaminated Botox Contaminated with what?? Who told you it was contaminated??? The bottom line is that vials that are reused or penetrated with a used needle (i.e., the injector reused a needle already put into a patient to go back into vial and redraw up Botox), then you could have been introduced to a variety of things. We had this occur in Nevada, not with Botox, but with other medications, and several people ended up with Hepatitis C and one even died. So you need to be very specific about who told you this was contaminated and what they meant by that term. If the injector reused a needle to go back into a vial for more Botox, thus introducing that person's DNA into the vial, there is a VERY serious issue here and it needs to be reported immediately to the medical board in your state. This is 100% not acceptable and could be putting any number of patients in danger. Please specify what you mean so we can help you!
