Can Botox cause random itchy sensations over the whole body?

vlarose
I have been getting botox injections in my face for the last 3 years. I have never had a reaction. 48 hours ago I got about 20 units (two weeks shy of three months). This morning I woke up feeling itchy. There doesn't appear to be a rash. The itchy sensation is in different parts of my body. For example; it may feel itchy by my ear, then my shoulder, then back of my leg, then my hair line. I don't want to overact and go to the ER. Could this be because of the botox?
