Botulinum toxin is ”the most poisonous substance known,” according to The Journal of the American Medical Association. A single gram, evenly dispersed, could kill more than one million people, causing ”symmetric, descending, flaccid paralysis” and eventually cutting off its victims’ power to breathe, swallow, communicate or see, while leaving their cognition all too intact.
One day about 12 years ago, Pat Wexler propped up a hand mirror, filled a syringe with a highly diluted form of the stuff and injected it in her forehead. As she expected, her forehead smoothed out like a sheet pulled taut. The shot paralyzed the muscles that draw the brow into a furrow, leaving the opposing muscles free to lift the skin and brows up toward the hairline.
