      I think it is quite dangerous in the wrong hands… in the right hands i is called Botox and makes people’s faces stop moving in places so they don’t get wrinkles…

      …i’ll keep my wrinkles 😉

      According to Wikipedia, botulin is “is considered the most powerful neurotoxin ever discovered” – so I guess it’s pretty dangerous!

      It seems like it mostly comes from certain kinds of bacteria.
