If Botox is a drug made from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum (the same toxin that causes a life-threatening type of food poisoning called botulism) why doesn’t it make us sick?
In: Biology
It makes you sick in a controlled and desirable way. C. botulinum is a food poisoning that causes paralysis, not just your usual “food poisoning”. So take that, dilute it many hundreds of times, and inject it in a very localized spot.
