It has the lowest LD50 of everything we know. VX nerve gas has an LD50 that is 100x higher.

It's 100% natural.

And we inject it into people's faces to reduce wrinkles.

I'd rather live with wrinkles than take a chance of dying pretty before the swelling goes down.
Wrinkles on a person means character. That means they have lived a while and have tales, along with the wrinkles to prove it.

That said, I was in a business office the other day and a woman, at least 25 years younger than I, came out of the back, saw me and said to me, "You're hot". I'm 71. She was serious too, because she came over to where I was, looked at me and said it again.
When I told my Other Half about it, she cracked up. Never mind that she tells me the same thing too. But then I can see where my SO might be a bit biased.
I think it may be because I kinda look like Bernie, but with a short white beard.
