Here's a news report about a botox party:

Kariann Jackson, who prior to the treatment had warned Leverett that she was "a bleeder, and I curse," had come to the Ahwatukee Center for Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery, along with about 10 other women, to have a needle repeatedly inject a neurotoxin into various segments of her face. "How you doing?" Leverett asked midway through the procedure. "I’m living," Jackson said. "You having fun?" "I will afterwards."

...Botox is the brand name for botulinum toxin, a poisonous protein manufactured by bacteria that causes botulism. It’s most commonly found in poorly handled meat, and even the name is derived from "botulus," the Latin word for "sausage." Botulism is one of the deadliest toxins in the world, with a median lethal dose of 1 nanogram per kilogram, meaning that a few hundred grams of the stuff could theoretically kill everyone on earth. Strychnine, for perspective, has a median lethal dose of 1 million nanograms per kilogram and would require 400 tons of the rat poison to kill everyone on the planet.
