Botulism: 10 Symptoms of Botulism
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #3: Facial Weakness
Our facial muscles are at work 24/7, even when we are sleeping. What might appear to be a relaxed facial expression is still being held into place by the facial muscles. These muscles also help with other important things such as helping us speak and chewing our food.
Botulism can lead to a weakening of the facial muscles. This can make it difficult for you to make facial expressions as well as other important things such as using speech. It is something that should prompt you to speak with a doctor if you have not already, and it can be caused by a range of potentially serious problems. In botulism, these symptoms are experienced on both sides of the face.
