No, botox is not made from snake venom. There is new anti-aging/anti-wrinkle treatment involving the use of synthetic venom proteins that are copies of the neuro-toxic proteins found in snake venom. Rather than being injected, these venom proteins are put into a topical cream that is applied to the skin. Botox on the other hand is derived from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum which is the bacteria responsible for the foodborne illness known as botulism. Botox, also known as Botulinum toxin type A, is a drug made from a toxin produced by the bacteria. Botox injections work by weakening or paralyzing certain muscles or by blocking certain nerves and are most commonly used to treat the following: * Temporary removal of facial wrinkles * Severe underarm sweating * Cervical dystonia - a neurological disorder that causes severe neck and shoulder muscle contractions * Blepharospasm - uncontrollable blinking * Strabismus - misaligned eyes
