Can Botox Injected into the Forehead Go Through and Get into the Bloodstream?

February 19, 2011
Asked By:Venus2195 in Venus

I have received botox injections quarterly for several years. Recently, I've not felt right--headachy (never happened before)and feel a little dazed, not as sharp as usual; could the recent injections have caused me harm?
