Botox in new scare

Botox has been involved in another scare with researchers claiming that the injected poison can travel from the face to the brain.

Botox is based on a natural poison and is used by many in their quest for wrinkle-free skin. However researchers have announced that they tested Botox on rats, and three days later discovered traces of the chemical in the animals’ brain stems.

The research, although slightly alarming, should not be seen as the end of Botox – rats and humans have a different make-up and their responses may vary meaning that humans may not see the same effects as rats.
