💨 Abstract

Patients receiving illegal botox injections in the UK are at risk of botulism, a potentially fatal disease. The UK Health Security Agency has recorded 38 cases linked to anti-wrinkle injections. Symptoms include weakness, blurred vision, and difficulties swallowing or breathing. Patients like Nicola Fairley and Kaylie Bailey experienced severe symptoms after receiving these injections. The dangerous industry lacks regulation, allowing unqualified practitioners to use unsafe products. Medical professionals have warned about potential outbreaks due to poor oversight.
