Botox are behind a multistate outbreak of botulism-like illnesses, state health officials report.
So far, at least six people have fallen ill in two states: four in Tennessee and two in Illinois. Four of the six people required hospitalization for their condition (two in Tennessee and both cases in Illinois).
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is reportedly planning a nationwide alert to notify clinicians of the potentially counterfeit Botox and advise them to be on the lookout for botulism-like illnesses. The agency did not immediately respond to Ars’ request for information.

Rich person problem, will be solved by the end of the week…
People who aren’t rich get cosmetic procedures every day. In fact, those are the people who will be getting the sketchy cheap procedures done.
Tennessee reported that its four cases were linked to injections given in “non-medical settings such as homes or cosmetic spas.” Investigators found that the injections were of “products with unclear origin” and that information collected so far suggests the products were counterfeit.
Could just accept the fact that you age and own it.
And what is Botox used for? And how much are Botox injections?
Sorry but this IS a rich fuck problem.
If you’re dumb enough to get Botox injections you deserve full blown botulism
How much are they? A couple hundred dollars. Not a rich fuck problem. Lemme ask you, how many rich people have been in the news dead from cosmetic procedures? How about many people of limited income?
Funny how the news stories are about regular people going to bootleg clinics and not rich people going to proper doctors and paying for good cosmetic treatments.

Would have been a better response.
I’ve only known it for smoothing wrinkles, now I know I’m an idiot, so yeah
Some people get them for migraines and such. It’s not just looks.
