A growing cluster of botulism cases is linked to Botox injections at Rodrigo Beauty in Milton, with numbers rising from four to fourteen. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health reported that the cases, which are under investigation, may be a form of iatrogenic botulism caused by excessive botulinum toxin. The owner, Rodrigo de Medeiros Siqueira, holds an aesthetician license but is not a medical professional, violating regulations that mandate trained healthcare supervision for such procedures. Authorities urge anyone who received injections between May 1 and June 4 to seek immediate medical advice.
State public health officials are now reporting that cases of botulism linked to Botox procedures at a Milton spa have surged to 14 from four last week.
Iatrogenic botulism, a rare but serious illness, could potentially result from excessive injection of botulinum toxin, as noted by health officials.
Anyone who received Botox injections at Rodrigo Beauty between May 1 and June 4 this year should contact DPH at 617-983-6800 or their local board of health immediately.
