Methanol Poisoning
Methanol poisoning is a poisoning that occurs after ingesting methanol, a toxic alcohol present in some industrial products and in adulterated beverages, which the body transforms into harmful substances.
Warning signs: after a few hours there may be headache, nausea, abdominal pain, visual disturbances or blurred vision, and a decline in overall condition.
When to seek help? When ingesting methanol is suspected, especially if there are changes in vision, it is an emergency that requires immediate attention.
Who treats it? Its management usually begins in the emergency department, with the involvement of internal medicine, nephrology and, in children, pediatrics. Faced with any suspicion of this type of poisoning, the priority is to go immediately to a medical service.
