Parkinsons (PD) runs in my family, so I have a slightly increased chance of getting it. Credible medical sites suggest increased exposure to certain toxins may increase likelihood of getting PD, especially if you have a genetic predisposition. Botox Cosmetic is derived from a toxin, so I assume it somehow may increase my chances of developing PD. Since toxins may be a potential contributing factor to PD, could long term use of Botox Cosmetic potentially increase the likelihood of developing PD?
