Botulism is a rare and potentially fatal paralytic illness caused by the botulinium toxin, which is found in contaminated food.
Botox is a purified derivative of the botulinium toxin that is used as a muscle relaxant and an anti-wrinkle drug.

Comes at the same time Hollywarped individuals are having reactions to injections designed to fill wrinkles, that was given at house parties, in what is now deemed to be an unregulated medication by an unlicensed individual.

Shawn, Larry King's wife is said to have developed an unsightly growth on her lip from the shots, and also had her cheeks, temples, ears, and other areas, treated with the stuff.

Golly, Larry might wake up one morning to find he married the Elephant Man.

Schallop said he suspects all four had been given Botox from a "contaminated vial."

Uh... isn't that redudant??

[PrtzlLogic]

Or possibly REDUNDANT??? (I hate that you can't edit your posts. I need to have my beeber stuned.)

Botox is manufactured using the TOXIN from the botulinum bacterium. Maybe the vials were contaminated with the actual bacterium, which could then multiply once inside the body, and thus produce a far greater quantity of the toxin as compared to the fixed amount in the injection.

[Fresh Wind]

You gotta be nuts to put that stuff in your body.

Ah. Thanks for the explanation. That makes more sense now.

Not to knock anyone who wants to try and look younger then their years

But I will NEVER EVER understand who anyone would inject a known poison into their face

[ladyrustic]

Or perhaps the toxin wasn't diluted enough at the lab before it was put into the vial, so there was enough of the toxin present to adversely affect those poor people...

"Yeah, I used Botox. Why do you ask?"

[Welsh Rabbit]

Yeah, who'd ever thought injecting bubonic plague in your face would turn out badly?

My brother is involved in the services industry for the rich a piggish in Manhattan (where a lot of the Hollyweirds live), and you wouldn`t believe some of the stories he tells me about some of these idiots. He said one of the things they like to do is have a "botox party" where a group of women or extremely effeminate vain men (like Kerry) get together at someones place and a doctor comes over and injects these idiots like heroin addicts in a drug den. Can you imagine? "Oh Karen look, you`re drooling out the side of your mouth just like me" "Wow this is so cool!" A freggin` botox party. How high on the boredom scale do you have to be to do something like that?

"Oh Karen look, you`re drooling out the side of your mouth just like me" "Wow this is so cool!"

LOL. Would make a great thread. "Stupid Things Said at a Botox Party."

[Liz]

Man, that's some case of acne he's got.

[Imaverygooddriver]

It`s insane isn`t it? Whatever happened to nice Tupperware parties? Now it`s "Let`s inject toxin into our freggin` face" parties. "Mommy, how come all your friends can barely talk?" Teresa Heinz is one of those. If you ever watched her, the only thing that ever moves on her face is her mouth, and just barely. She always has the same expression on her face, always. That woman could get slammed in the face by a mack truck and she`d probably think it was a mosquito bite.

That`s Viktor Yushchenko. You ever see the before pictures of him?? He claims he was poisoned, but I`m just wondering if he OD`ed on botox.

Before....

After...

[Liz]

Yeah, I know who he is. Seen the before pics, too.

Now, his eye condition looks like he may have had a severe allergy to something, as well.
