Is the addition of human serum albumin as a stabilizer in Allergan's Botox not a concern for Botox users. Currently the use of medical products derived from human blood are considered safe, but from a publication on this topic:

"However, based on a review of the hitherto available data, it is impossible to conclude at this time that CJD is NOT transmitted by blood or plasma transfusion or by the administration of pooled plasma derivatives. " (such as HSA)

Would I use Botox if there is any possibility of getting Creuzfeld-Jacob disease (spongiform encephalitis) or dementia)? Hey, 30 years ago they said human derived hormones were save and then along came BSE and CJD, before that HCV, before that HIV. I am surprised that the HSA/adjuvant story has not been used in full force.
