Intubated the stomach tube, went to the respirator, moved across the province to the hospital, hit 15 serums..
It was a cure since li mei was diagnosed with “bot poisoning”, even though she had been poisoned for more than a month and still spoke in a confused manner。
Lee mei's experience stems from the “scrawny face needle” given to her by the m. A. In the roadside nail shop. Like her, “bot poisoning” patients, more than 300 people were treated in 2024 by the chemical intoxication rescue section of the fifth medical centre of the general hospital of the liberation army。
The vice-president of the china plastics association and the chief of the orthotics department of the 4th medical centre of the general medical centre of the liberation army hospital, chen min-lang, described severe botulinum poisoning as causing respiratory difficulties, depravity and even fatality. Li mei et al. Were largely responsible for the injection of excessive quantities and unknown sources of botulinum toxins through illegal channels。
In accordance with the relevant national regulations, meat toxins listed with the approval of the national drug authority may be used only in medical institutions that have been licensed to practice medical institutions or registered in medical beauty clinics, with very strict requirements for practitioners. However, in a covert interview with ninjing newspaper journalists, it was found that the use of irregular injections of botulinum toxins was widespread and that unidentified illegal medical practitioners, known as “substitutes”, were reaching out through social media, who injected unidentified sources of botulinum toxins to clients in less hygienic rental rooms, personal studios, hotels and even in the street-side nail shops, posing great medical risks. At the expense of the benefits, individuals and beauty-making institutions have also introduced rapid medical injection classes to train “substitutes” with “half a day”, increasing the risk of meat toxin use。

Lee mei, aged 28, is a gansu zhang zhang, and since 2020 she has been performing one or two micro-orthodox injections at a large plastic hospital in zhang zhang city, at a cost of several thousand yuan each time. During this period, she met with the head of the plastic surgery hospital, “chancellor wang”, and added some credit. Later, the plastic surgery hospital closed down and the medical services of the “dean wang” moved online。
Li mei is still not sure whether president wang is qualified for medical injection, and almost all of her knowledge of president wang comes from the circle of friends。
Mother wang's medical marks are clear, and her top five figures show the scope of her business: cloud plastics, professional medical beauty, resistance, repair, thinness, etc. The circle of friends consists mostly of some project price sheets and live videos of the client's projects, but li ming also noticed from these videos that the business premises of “president wang” are not fixed, sometimes in hotel suites “queuing, grouping, building one-on-one” and sometimes needleing the customer's face in a nail shop。

According to a video released by president wang, several women in a hotel suite were lying on the couch with their faces covered in imperfects, with milk, snacks and disinfection on the tea table in front of them; there were two beds with blue rags and three people lying there, and a woman in rubber gloves was working on the face of a woman; and blue rags were laid on the bed, teas and large quantities of well-equipped needles. Some videos even show pregnant women。
In 2024, li mei had a “scrawny face” shot and lip filling at a cost of over 1,600 at a hotel room. On 7 january of this year, she made another ad in the circle of friends of “president wang”, and she arranged for a “skin face needle”. Thus, she did not feel anything wrong when “chancellor wang” put her on a thin-faced nail at a store near the mall。
This is a small, simple shop, with a table and a couch for a manicure, with three beds in it, with blue unswiped cloths like those in the video, and a guest from li-mi, who was doing his work while he was at the store, and two other guests, who were all guests of the "chancellor wang" 。
Remy was trying to solve her problem with her double chin. She had previously communicated with “president wang” on twitter. She had read the price list of the project, and her budget for the injection was $56,000. But when she lays down, things begin to move beyond her control. Mother wang touched her apple muscles and said, "there's something down here that needs a booster." "you're so thin, but the bottom line is particularly vague, and you have to hit solute and meat toxin."。
Because it's familiar, it's based on trust, and it's at her mercy. The operation left her with no idea how many shots she had received on her face or what type of medication she had injected. After that, she was told that she spent a total of $10250。
It is not that li mei was not concerned about safety, but she lacked basic knowledge of the injection of meat toxin. Before the injection, she asked again and again about the safety of president wang and said, “we're fighting ourselves” and she stopped asking. In the case of bottoxin, li was only about to know that two types of bottoxin, preservation and balance, had national approvals, “the rest is not clear”
On the third day of the injection, li mei discovered a small red dot in the eye of her face and, after another day, she had symptoms of dizziness and swelling of her neck。

After finding out that she was in discomfort, li went to dean wang's first interview and explained that “the previous customer had said that it was weak, and this time it was a little strong”, and sent her a number of “methods for fast-activation” and “urgent ways of dealing with excessive quantities of botulinum toxins” to “get a clinic to do it first”。
Confirmed “bot poisoning”
Lee mei, whose symptoms are getting worse, has no access to hospitals. On 20 january, li mei was diagnosed by the hospital as “bot poisoning”, to a moderate degree。
“severe botulinum poisoning can cause respiratory difficulties, deplete organs, and even fatality.” the vice-president of the china plastics association and the chief of the orthopaedic prosthetics section of the 4th medical centre of the general hospital of the liberation army stressed that patients must be treated at the hospital at the first time after detection of suspected poisoning and given serum treatment as appropriate。
In fact, the injection of type a botulinum toxin, which causes li mei poisoning, is a state-controlled fertilizer. In accordance with the relevant provisions, injection agencies are required to obtain a licence to practise medical institutions or medical beauty clinic records, and the subject of medical treatment should reflect the words “medical beauty surgery” and “aesthetic dermatology”. A doctor who injects meat toxin shall be the lead physician in aesthetic surgery or aesthetic dermatology, and must have a medical certificate " certificate of medical practice " , a clinical work experience of more than six years in aesthetic surgery or plastic surgery, or a professional clinical work experience of skin disease for more than three years, and a medical beauty professional training or continuous training for six months and more。

Chen told the news reporter that meat toxin was transported to hospital in the cold chain of the national unit, and that they strictly followed the “two-man double lock” in their daily consultations, i. E., the storerooms and freezers where the meat toxin was stored were locked, that the taking of drugs required the signature of two medical personnel and that they were in camera for the whole time。
By contrast, the origin of the meat toxin injected by li mei is unknown, inappropriately stored, and there is no qualification of the injecting personnel and the place where the injection took place, and every link is irregular。
Rethinking, whether in the social media, the sharing of medical american bloggers or in the circle of friends of president wang, these things make those who seek beauty feel that injections of meat toxin, like other medical aesthetics, are “not plasticized”, are just as common as everyday beauty-care skins, thus seriously ignoring the safety behind the thin face。
According to press reports, more than 300 patients were treated for “bot poisoning” in 2024 at the chemical intoxication unit of the fifth medical centre of the general hospital of the liberation army。
Chen min-hyun also told the newspaper reporter that in june/july 2024, his section had also concentrated on the treatment of a group of botulinum poisoning patients who, like li mei, had been injected with unknown sources of botulinum toxin through informal channels。
There's a lot of joblessness on the line
Injecting meat toxin is strictly regulated, but in contrast to it, it is not difficult to find people who inject meat toxin in social media。
In a search for key words, such as “calling”, new kyoto newspaper journalists found that in social media, there were “calling” agents who replaced needles such as bottoxes with the abbreviated word or hyphenation, and that there were graphic advertisements, as well as users who had taken the initiative to post “a city that wanted to use meat for a spectrum”, and that there were a large number of “calling” visitors in the comment area。

In the comments section of the above-mentioned post, the reporter of the newspaper shinjing left a message “call beijing by generation”, with several “generations” actively contacting him through private letters and giving him further details。

One of them is dr. Zhang, who calls himself “proven”. She claims to be a doctor at a hospital in ishikoshi, where she specializes in “learning outside”, after she worked in the medical profession in hangzhou. Having learned that the first time a journalist struck a botulinum toxin, “the first time he suggested to go to the hospital, you knew that the hospital was more dangerous and that it was too expensive to pay”
The news reporter ningkyung learned that the average cost of injection of a part of the meat toxin in a public hospital was around $1,500, while dr. Zhang charged 450. She showed reporters chat records and post-injection videos on her mobile phone with several old clients, stressing that she had extensive injection experience, that except for “filling”, “water light” and “slubber”, “it was too simple for me to do with botulinum”
The vice-president of the china plastics association, chen min-hyun, described the inexperienced skills of injecting personnel and the lack of a sense of piety and common sense, which could directly cause the poisoning of the pageant by overdose with meat toxin. Some pagers are likely to resort to unlicensed “calls” for meat toxins because of misleading advertising, and others are likely to increase their doses in order to ensure effectiveness and retain customers。
“doctors in public hospitals must have done plastic surgery on a safe basis. It is a fundamental principle that medical beauty adds flowers and pursues beauty, but does not endanger human health.” chen min jian。
On 16 february, after a meeting with dr. Zhang, a reporter from the newspaper shinjing asked her to present a “doctor's certificate” and a “doctor's certificate of practice”, but she said, “who's always carrying that certificate?” she then pulled out her mobile phone and showed a local cut-off of the “doctor's certificate of practice” - both the photographs and the certificate codes were coded - and she was unable to match herself because she refused to take her mask off all her way. She explained, "it's because people are afraid to touch china and call me."
The reporter of the newspaper ninjing enquired about the national health commissioner's network's medical practice registration system and did not retrieve information consistent with dr. Zhang's practice。
The self-proclaimed “substitute beating” was intended to gain trust, but there were also a large number of people in the social media who admitted that they had been “substitute beating” without a warrant, some of whom injected a needle in their own studio and were constantly visiting。
On the evening of 17 february, a “doctor” (alias) who claimed to work in a plastic hospital in a commercial establishment in the zhongyang district of beijing introduced a journalist into her personal studio. It is a consummate apartment with two beauty beds and a row of medical instruments attached to the wall。
The journalist asked if she had any qualifications when she contacted her earlier, and then she withdrew the message, adding: “experience is also important, and i have spent many years in professional medicine here”. When a journalist came to the door, a young woman came to the door and gave her an injection, a familiar who was asked to give injections at the studio almost every night。
Dr. Zhang's injection site is much more random than her own. At the time of the appointment, “doctor zhang” indicated that he was allowed to make appointments for injections in beijing and beijing, and that he was also in a cooperative workshop in beijing, beijing west station, etc。
For $6,800, i'm going to get a half-day injection
There is a very high threshold of development for meat toxin injectors in the formal health-care system, but how are injection techniques developed when these are active in social media and lined up
During the covert interviews, ninkyo journalists found microentrepreneurs selling botulinum toxins, advertising not only drugs, but also intensive injection classes. One of them claimed that it would take only $6,800 for half a day to produce a “subsistence beating” that injected meat toxin into the face of a guest。
According to microbusiness, on the evening of 18 february, a reporter from the newspaper shinjing met with a training instructor, dr. Zhao, in an urban village of the ten river in the hoangyang district of beijing。
At the age of 30, dr. Zhao, dressed in black, wearing a shoulder bag and a mask, claimed to have just left a plastic hospital near the state trade. He took journalists across the town's village alley and entered a rental building in a three-storey building。
The conditions in the room are poor: a black clinic bed, a double bed with a dirty mattress, a writing desk with a training certificate from a plastic society. Dr. Zhao removed his original “two certificate” and his identity card from the desk drawer, proving that he had medical qualifications。
The journalist noted that he graduated from a university of medicine in shandong and that the photograph of his identity was consistent with that of himself. Medical supplies such as disinfectants, impurities, syringes, etc. Are piled in the drawers of the desk。

Dr. Zhao claims to have introduced his clients through clients in plastic hospitals and friends in the medical profession, where he spends his spare time taking care of his private work in a poor rental room, injecting his clients with medical aesthetics, making an average of 20,000 per month。
He introduced his teaching methods to reporters in the newspaper: self-learning, reading his two recommended anatomical books and videos, with a preliminary understanding of the location of facial anatomy and needles; and practical exercises, with a silica model to demonstrate needle techniques and locations. When he gave the client a private injection, the student could also rent a room at close range, and he would explain “how to do it, how to get it”。
If the trainees want to bring their own human modelers, they usually bring relatives and friends or acquaintances to teach them how to lay needles on each other's faces. "you can have a friend when you're close to reading, and then you can call her, and you'll have the plenary." he said。
Journalists have repeatedly stressed that they have no medical basis and fear that they will not learn. "dr. Zhao" pays the check: "even if you don't read all the books of the theory, i'll teach you the lesson for half a day." he claims that it is not difficult to take a “crawling needle”, that the needle is only 1. 5 cm long, and that it is sufficient to stick it to the end。
Even the more difficult “fill” is easy under his description. For example, filling the temple, “even if i don't know where the vein is, you get a needle in it and you pump it back, and you don't see blood, it means that the needle is not stuck in the vein, so you can push the medicine, and in this case there's no embolism.”
In addition to one-on-one teaching, injection speed classes are also being developed in bulk “substitutes”. "injection is the most profitable." a “calling” in a private studio in xi'an told the news reporter that there was a high demand in the injection industry and suggested an institution to study. "just a wrinkle off someone and you'll get $800. You don't need to steal what you do, as long as your customers believe you." she claims that her injection skills were taught at medical training institutions, “generally one day's injection is completed”。

In a social media search for key words, such as “micro-injecting training”, ninkyo journalists found that some training institutions were disguised as personal accounts to advertise students by publishing needle-injecting training journals, “media and white medicine, one month of success”. The campaign included “zero basic education, no qualification requirements, qualifications agreement”, for national enrolment, and online access (300959). Its “diary” content is also extremely tempting, with some being directed under the heading “from $2,500 a month to $3w+ a month” to promote a tuition fee of $35,000 and train for five to seven days in basic skills。
“the ignorant are fearless.” according to wang yan, a medical doctor at the skin beauty centre of the mid-west medical hospital in yueyang, affiliated with the shanghai medical university, there are large variations in the distribution of human vascular neuropsychology and disassembly, as well as differences in the distribution of blood vessels at different levels, and there is a “grave medical risk” of short-term rapid needle injection。
Non-forensic america
Li mei has received treatment for almost two months, but it will take between three months and six months to fully recover。
After the illness stabilized, li mei began to defend her rights, but “president wang” lost contact after returning her over 4,000 yuan, and the owner of the nail shop claimed “that has nothing to do with this”. She also complained to the administrative authorities, and the reply to her on-site evidence did not prove that she had struck a meat toxin in a nail shop and that she had taken the judicial path to a judicial settlement。
Mr. Wang bing, deputy director of the medical professional committee of the beijing city bar association, said that the difficulty of defending rights was a common problem for medical and american parties to disputes. He suggested that the person concerned should first choose to report the poisoning to the police and, at the same time, to the administrative authorities, including through the 12345 hotline, in order to establish evidence in such a way that the injector and the operator of the injection site would be sued in court as co-defendants。
Wang bing told the news reporter that the injection of aesthetics, such as meat toxin, in non-medical institutions, is illegal and that the alleged violation of the law of the people's republic of china on the punishment of public security and the law of the people's republic of china on medical doctors is subject to administrative penalties — the confiscation of illegal proceeds, fines, serious circumstances, and the possibility of suspending the practice or even revoking the certificate of medical practitioner. Wang cing stressed that if the above-mentioned illegal medical practice causes serious harm to the patient, it may be suspected of a crime and face criminal penalties。
The reporter of the newspaper shinjing found that there had been prior jurisprudence. In july 2021, after suzie, who had not been qualified as a physician, injected some of the victim's needles, such as botulinum toxin, in a store without medical qualifications, a hard piece of the king's face, accompanied by red, red and puss. The degree of disability for a particular face of wang is determined to be level 10. Suzie was sentenced by the local court to one year and six months ' imprisonment for illegal medical practice, a suspended sentence of two years and a fine of 5,000 yuan。
Even when advocacy is successful, the health damage caused by the poisoning of the meat toxin is difficult to compensate for with money. She suggested that, in order to be safe, health-seekers must choose a regular hospital, a professional doctor and a regular product。
“if a beauty seeker has a certain capacity to consume, and wishes to make his appearance young and beautiful through medical beauty, he must accept a reasonable price from a formal health institution; if he does not have the capacity to consume, do not turn to a second choice of a cheap “black needle”.” wang ying says that beauty is not only a path to beauty, but that it is entirely possible to keep itself young and beautiful through daily beauty and physical exercise。
