I just learned that botox is so toxic that it makes sarin gas look breathable, in fact according to the wikipedia list of toxins ordered by toxicity it is the single most dangerous toxin to life as we know it in the universe so far.
What on earth is done to it so that it can be injected into someones cheeks?

As Paracelsus said:
“All things are poison, and nothing is without poison; the dosage alone makes it so a thing is not a poison.”
In other words: the dose makes the poison. Things we don’t typically think of as poisonous are indeed in high enough doses, and things we do typically think of as poisonous aren’t in low enough doses. It’s all in the dose.
Botox is toxic in incredibly small doses, yes. So we just use incredibly incredibly incredibly small dosing. Also its administered within a localized muscle, not the bloodstream where it can travel to vital organs and such.
