About Botox
This is correct
Sounds great guys. Let's inject our penises with botulism toxin.
- Botox is a toxin.
This is incorrect
yea, injecting a live bacterium within millimeters of a sugar/protein source reminds me of the gas powered-neck warmer idea.
Botox is not live bacteria.
The bacteria - Clostridium botulinum produces a chemical - botulinum toxin.
Botox is the brand name for this toxin.
Botulism is a form of food poisoning. The bacteria grows in the food. Produces the toxin. You eat the food. You get paralyzed and probably die.
Botulinum neurotoxin is considered one of the most potent, lethal substances known.It has been estimated that about one gram could potentially kill one million people
Lets review the original idea:
Injecting a nerve poison which causes paralysis into the scrotum and possibly testicles.
Lasts for 4 months when used for wrinkles but nerve damage can be permanent.
The benefit - my balls hang lower
I'll pass.
First - along with paralysis usually comes loss of feeling.
Second - with loss of nerve function - sometimes atrophy (shrinking) results.
Third - Sometimes they miss with the needle and inject the wrong thing. Now what was that thing adjacent to the scrotum - Oh yes! The penis.
