Kaylie Bailey, a mother of three, suffered from life-threatening botulism after receiving illegal Botox injections from Gemma Gray. Initially diagnosed with ptosis, her condition deteriorated, leading to a serious misdiagnosis. She spent three days in the Intensive Care Unit and required resuscitation. Ms Bailey was one of 28 individuals in north-east England diagnosed with botulism after these injections. The incident highlights the risks associated with illegal beauty treatments and the severe consequences they can have on unsuspecting victims.
Kaylie Bailey's daily reminder of a beauty treatment that nearly killed her after receiving illegal Botox injections. She paid Gemma Gray £75 for the injections.
Ms Bailey struggled with her vision and was initially diagnosed with ptosis by doctors, urged to return if symptoms worsened, leading to a later diagnosis of botulism.
After several people fell ill from the injections, Ms Bailey became one of 28 diagnosed with botulism, requiring intensive care and an anti-toxin treatment.
Recalling her experience, Ms Bailey said, 'I remember lying on the bed thinking 'I'm dying here and I don't want to' as she faced resuscitation.
