Abstract:   (146 Views)
Consumption of alcoholic beverages as well as industrial alcohols, especially at the same time and after the outbreak of COVID-19, has become one of the problems of the healthcare system. Therefore, despite the provision of much education regarding the ineffectiveness of drinking alcohol to prevent diseases, including COVID-19, people continue to prepare and consume hand-made and sometimes industrial alcohol, which causes danger to themselves and others due to the presence of impurities, such as methanol. Methanol poisoning causes these individuals to go to the emergency room and can even result in death. In very rare cases, people also survive. The present study aims to introduce a 60-year-old patient who suffered from severe methanol poisoning after consuming homemade drinks, and the process of diagnosis and treatment is described.
