💨 Abstract

Several people in County Durham and Darlington experienced severe reactions after receiving Botox injections. Symptoms included drooping eyelids, double vision, difficulty swallowing, and slurred speech. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) advises seeking medical help if you experience these symptoms post-treatment. They also stress the importance of choosing licensed practitioners and following safety protocols. Botulism, caused by Clostridium botulinum bacteria, is rare but serious, attacking the nervous system and causing paralysis.
