I am allergic to honey but not to bee stings. Is it possible that I am reacting to botulism in the honey? If that's the case, can I still get botox?
Answer: Botox safety Thanks for your question, jgergely. Honey does not contain botulinum toxin, nor does it contain apitoxin (the toxin present in bee venom). If you are allergic to honey, this does not preclude you from getting botox treatments. As always, seek out an expert provider in order to receive the best results from your botox treatment.

Answer: Botox and Honey Allergy Thank you for your question. Yes, you can still have Botox injections as honey does not contain botulinum toxin. I still advise you to mention any allergies to your injector prior to treatment. I also recommend having a consultation with an expert injector to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

Answer: Allergy to honey Gosh that is a rare entity. It would be wise to check with your allergy specialist but in general botox is a very pure injectable medicine with very few, if any, known cases of allergy.

Answer: Botox and honey allergy Botox is a medication injected into target muscles to selectively relax them for fewer/softer wrinkles. The active ingredient ingredient can be found in honey; however it is likely your honey allergy is due to the pollen. I would consult with your allergist who diagnosed your honey allergy to be absolutely certain. It is likely you can still have a Botox treatment safely. Safety comes first.

Answer: Honey allergy Hi, thank you for your question. Honey allergy is unrelated to Botox treatment as it does not contain apitoxin unlike a bee sting allergy.
