Botox is a shortened definition of botulinum toxin expression, which is a beautification method that is used frequently by women in recent years and is used for the removal of wrinkles on the face.

In fact, botulinum toxin is a common name produced by seven different neurotoxins produced by clostridium botulinum and two other types of clostridia. This is the most potent neurotoxin botulinum known.

The bacterium Clostridium botulinum causes a disease called botulism in humans. This disease is mostly transmitted from canned food. In particular, spores that are resistant to microorganisms do not die in the normal cooking stage, so cannot survive in the home.

These bacteria do not cause infection in the body, but produce strong poisons, double vision, harmony in the eyes, dry mouth, headache and weakness. In some cases, it causes cardiac arrhythmias and respiratory paralysis, and even leads to death.

The type of food in which bacteria secreting Clostridium botulinum toxin comes into life is different according to the storage conditions of these foods and their feeding habits in different regions. The processing of any foodstuff to support toxin production and to ensure that the spores remain viable or not sufficiently warmed before consumption is sufficient to activate these bacteria. All foods that are not acidic, ie pH above 4,6, are suitable for the development of clostridium botulinum bacteria and toxins. Botulinal toxin is found in products such as canned peppers, corn, green beans, beets, asparagus, spinach, tuna, chicken, mushrooms, olives, ham, sausages, salted or smoked fish.

In advanced laboratories, studies are carried out for the determination of clostridium botulinum toxin within the framework of microbiological analyzes. During these studies, relevant legal regulations and analysis methods published by domestic and foreign organizations are complied with.
