dying to look young? Two botulism cases could be linked to Botox WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. Health officials are investigating whether a Florida man and woman got botulism from Botox injections. A spokesman for the Palm Beach County Health Department says both patients got Botox at the same clinic in Broward County. They've since been hospitalized. Botox is a derivative of the toxin that causes botulism. It's used as an anti-wrinkle drug. A spokeswoman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the agency is trying to learn whether the Florida cases and two cases elsewhere are "related to Botox." A Florida woman died last year after suffering an allergic reaction to Botox. But the company that makes the drug stresses its safety record -- saying just seven people had serious side effects in the 1990s. Copyright 2004 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
