Toxic Beauty
I do not understand certain parts of our society at all. The following is from Wikipedia . Who thought this was a good idea? And who continues to inflict it upon themselves?

"Botulin toxin is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is the most poisonous naturally occurring substance in the world. A single drop is capable of killing 50,000 people. Though it is highly toxic, it is used in minute doses... as a cosmetic treatment in some parts of the world. It is sold commercially under the brand names Botox and Dysport for this purpose."

Interestingly enough, before Botox was used cosmetically, it was used for treatment of spasmodic dysphonia by having shots in the vocal chords every 3-6 months. I don't understand why women get these treatments. Ugh!
