Botox TM contains 0.5 mg human serum albumin per 100 IU vial. Other preparations of botulinium toxin (all neuromodulators) also contain some amount of human serum albumin (Dysport, Xeomin and Myobloc).The risk of transmitting viruses such as Hepatitis A,B, and C, and non-A non-B hepatitis, and HIV is considered extremely remote, but there is an extremely remote possibility that some prion causing disease (Creutzfeld-Jakob) may be transmitted in the preparation because prions are not inactivated by current sterilization methods.With the injection of human albumin, there is also a possibility of inducing a hypersensitivity reaction resulting in symptoms such as fever, chills, hives, and flu like symptoms.Obviously a Jehovah's Witness patient would want to know about albumin in the neuromodulator used.Dr. Anna Sylwestrowicz MD, FRCP(C)Victoria, BC

The only two things that usually drip onto your skin is a little trickle of blood which you would know what it is or a small amount of Botox.
