Although botox was approved as a drug in 2002, the drug is actually a toxin. Botox is the brand name of the botulinum toxin, which is produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum. Botox is a poison that can kill a normal human being. According to many historians, it was also considered used as a biological weapon during World War II.

However, there is nothing to worry about if you plan to do a botox treatment. To be fatal, the botox injection should be between 0.09 and 0.15 µg, while the injection for medical use only is 0.00073 µg. Because of this there is nothing to be afraid of. Botox is actually associated with very few side effects, see below in section 3.
