…Because we all love needles in our feet, right!??! This post was prompted by a news report that Sharon Stone had her adopted son taken away from her for various “off the deep end” issues, including trying to get a doctor to agree to inject Botox into her son’s feet because they smell.
I know Botox is used for several cosmetic reasons and it’s use has risen greatly over the years. I had no idea it could be used to hinder sweating! I find that fascinating in itself. Apparently the Botox interferes with the chemical signals that tell the nerves to activate the sweat glands.
One has to wonder how safe this is, but I think I can perhaps understand the use of Botox for “medical conditions” (if you can call excessive sweating a medical condition) better than I do for wrinkles and such.
I also remember seeing an episode of House where a person who had a vocal chord problem was relieved of their problem with a Botox injection. I will say the idea of using botox on children seems
crazy, at best.
The Judge in Sharon Stone’s case agreed with the approach of the son’s father by stating that the oder was corrected by having the boy wear socks with his shoes and also some foot deodorant. Wow…that seems a lot less invasive than Botox and uses something the rest of us seem to have more of than Sharon Stone…common sense.
