Botulism Case Under Investigation
(Portland, OR) -- Multnomah County and the Oregon Health Authority are investigating a suspected case of botulism. Officials believe it's tied to counterfeit or improperly handled botulinum toxin, often sold by the brand name Botox. So far, one person from Multnomah County has been hospitalized with botulism-like illness. The patient received a botulinum toxin injection for cosmetic purposes on June sixth from a person later determined to be unlicensed.
