Botulinum toxin overdose happens when too much of the toxin enters the body at once. Some people try taking methylcobalamin to support the nerves, but it cannot bring fast relief. The toxin must be naturally metabolized, which usually takes around three months. If symptoms don’t improve—or if they get worse—it’s important to go to the hospital. Right now, doctors can only treat the symptoms that appear, such as dizziness or muscle weakness. There’s no “dissolving” injection or medicine that can remove botulinum toxin instantly. During recovery, patients are advised to eat lightly, avoid spicy foods, and take care of their overall health while waiting for the toxin to fade.
