Question 1

can somebody tell me how can someone get methanol poisoning?

Accepted Answer

Methanol poison: Usually drink it. By mistake or on purpose. Causes severe acidosis and blindness.

Question 2

does methanol poisoning leave one temporarily blind?

Accepted Answer

If lucky: Methanol can easily produce permanent damage to the eye.  Have seen one or two pts who drank methanol and did recover, but most have permanent blindness, if they survive.

Question 3

can you cure yourself from accidental methanol poisoning by drinking ethanol / alcohol?

Accepted Answer

No: Once methanol binds to the tissue receptors ethanol will not displace it.

Question 4

hi 3 days ago (60 hours exactly) me and my friends did drink homemade vodka and now we feel good .but i have a very little stomach burn since then. is there any chance of methanol poisoning. we haven't develop any serious symptoms yet. thanks?

Accepted Answer

: In this setting, nothing I would’ve already started to have caused kidney problems, among other side effects. Your stomach burning is more likely from the alcohol in the homemade vodka itself. You should try to cut back on the alcohol. Good luck.

Question 5

ive been used the assured aloe and moisturizer hand sanitizer for some time and it just appeared as recalled. what should i do? should i get checked for methanol poisoning?

Accepted Answer

Not particularly: You get methanol poisoning by drinking it. You might inhale enough vapors to be a problem if used in a confined space, but not enough enters your skin to be a problem. Just return the product to its vendor.

Accepted Answer

Learning: I agree with Dr. Weisman. All the important data can't be covered in 400 characters or less.   Having someone else do your work for you will not allow you to learn in the depth that is needed. If you are going to serve others as a physician - you have to be willing to put in the time to really learn this material.
