And that's a great example exactly with that, with Botox as well, as you said, with the face.
And then actually the pickup I'd originally put in links to that.
So just very, very quickly.
Then back home in the UK, again, this was lots of headlines on this.
We won't go into detail because I feel like we've sort of covered this roughly before, but there was a huge raid in Birmingham a couple of weeks ago where they uncovered this big illegal operation importing again botox.
unlicensed, unregulated Monjaro.
So there's weight loss style, not Monjaro style drugs from China.
Then they're repackaging these unregulated drugs with needles, injection kits, and shipping them directly to customers across the UK.
Crazy stuff as they're then doing it with just like normal parcel delivery services.
Yeah.
According to the MHRA, just kind of between five and 6,000 illegally traded weight loss injection pens were seized just last year.
And they dismantled what was believed to be the UK's first illegal production facility for these counterfeit, these non-regulated weight loss drugs last October.
And what they were saying about this raid in Birmingham in May was that, you know, they found all these drugs, obviously, and they were just stored in these, obviously, in extremely poor conditions.
So it was like a cluttered residential property.
It was talking about like a chihuahua running around the living room, all around these drugs.
Poor baby.
Yeah.
I know, but like obviously imagine if you're selling, you know, if it's a pharmaceutical company, and I'm not advocating that pharmaceutical companies have their own complications as well, but I'm just saying they are regulated and therefore the way that these drugs are manufactured and stored, it's this highly sterile controlled environment.
Yeah, for sure.
So as I said, I just if you're feeling pressure around all of these things at the moment, just please, please, please don't get them.
