Thank you for your question nateythejanitor. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated withfacial expression. It is designed to be injected, not ingested. It is not known what the possible effects of ingested Botox are. If I had a patient who swallowed Botox and was having symptoms I would recommend that she visit a local emergency room. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
You should always call your healthcare provider if you believe that you ingested poisonous material. If it is a concern, posting on a forum is not recommended. That being said, ingesting small amounts of botox should be fine. You will be OK. Chase Lay, MD
