How can a person know they are allergic to Botox if they've never had it done ?

I am uncomfortable with getting Botox injections because I'm afraid of getting an allergic reaction to it. I don't have any allergies whatsoever but how am I able to know if I am allergic to Botox unless it's already injected? At that point any allergic reaction would probably be severe..?
