History of Anaphylactic Reactions - Safe to Get Botox?

Irishtk
I have a history of anaphylactic reactions that started in my early 20's. lasted over 10 plus years, into my early 30's. I probably had 20 plus episodes and currently carry an epi-pen, although it has been about 10 years (I am 45) since my last reaction. Doctors could never pinpoint a specific cause. Is it safe for me to get botox? Thank you!
