“nature’s Botox” Botox is natural it’s literally microdosed botulism
they’re inject botulinum toxin, it comes from the bacteria that causes botulism. it’s genuinely just localized botulism
@cam hi i am a physicist with only useless knowledge of fake concepts like "torque" what is botulism
@wallhackio it's a disease caused by a bacteria that secretes botulinum toxin which is a neurotoxin and causes paralysis/muscle relaxation
@wallhackio anyway it's safe to inject botulinum intramuscularly to treat migraines or remove wrinkles because it doesn't spread beyond the injection site, but the bacteria itself obviously spreads to many areas of the body
fun fact that bacteria thrives in food that's improperly canned
@cam @wallhackio cool, so I can eat spoiled canned food to make myself look less wrinkled, new diet trend!
@wallhackio I'm not, I actually forgot the specific mechanism of action and had to look it up (it blocks acetylcholine release from neurons)
