A 51-year-old Sydney woman is in intensive care due to suspected botulism linked to an unregulated anti-wrinkle injection received at home. New South Wales Health issued a warning urging the public to seek cosmetic procedures only from licensed practitioners to avoid potential harm. Symptoms of botulism may appear within two weeks, including muscle weakness and difficulty swallowing. Authorities continue to investigate the incident, reinforcing the risks involved with unregulated cosmetic treatments, which can be deadly if administered improperly.
Dr. Jeremy McAnulty, the executive director of health protection at NSW Health, emphasized that cosmetic injections, if used incorrectly, could result in serious harm and even death.
A NSW police spokesperson stated investigations are ongoing, highlighting the importance of receiving cosmetic procedures only from authorized practitioners.
