What Is Botox?
Makers of Botox use a bacteria called Clostridium botulinum which is harvested from natural environmental resources like lakes and forests. Since the bacteria’s spore count is low in this setting, they are harmless to humans. Clostridium botulinum, in more substantial amounts, produces a neurotoxin called botulinum. It is only when the bacteria produces botulinum that it becomes problematic which is why it is necessary to receive injections from trained experts.
