Can Any of the Botox Get into my Bloodstream and Cause Harm to my Nerves That I May Not Know About?

September 6, 2012
Asked By:Sdp in Spring, TX

More and more articles appear that have been written by scientists and medical doctors which claim the toxin spreads throughout the body causing nerve damage. I've also read a few articles that claim Botox gets into the brain which causes people to suffer with symptoms that create permanent disability. Who do I believe? If this information is not true - what do the authors gain by publishing information that leaves people feeling scared and confused?
