A Florida clinic offering cut-price Botox injections was sealed off as a crime scene yesterday after four people were left paralysed by botulism.
Federal agents who searched the Advanced Integrated Medical Centre, a private clinic in Fort Lauderdale, are said to have found paperwork from a pharmaceutical distributor that sells an imitation form of the anti-wrinkle treatment.
The four people at the centre of the scare have suffered muscle and lung paralysis and are being kept alive on hospital ventilators. They include Dr Bach McComb, who runs the clinic, although his licence to work as a doctor was suspended last year.
