Is there a link between ALS and Botox?

melmiller
I am in my early 40's have no signs, symptoms, and no concerns at this point, but was told by family members that they had heard that there was a correlation between Botox and ALS and that my sisters and I should never consider since my father passed from ALS at age 39. The information I have found really is evasive and doesn't really ease my concerns. Could there possibly be a link between Botox and ALS if it runs in the family? Thank you!
