Comment on Parents of Melbourne methanol-poisoning victims ‘shocked’ by $185 fines handed to Laos hostel staff
forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 1 week agoThe families of two Melbourne teenagers who died after drinking methanol-laced alcohol in Laos say they have been blindsided by news the workers responsible for serving the drinks received fines of just $185.
The opening paragraph strongly implies your information is incorrect…?
Got any sources?

What are you talking about? I didn’t say anything about their situation, I said that the antidote to methanol poisoning is ethanol, everyone knows that. Within 20 minutes the alcohol will force the methanol off of the receptors because it has preferential grabbiness on it. If you are served methanol, or antifreeze of any kind, you want to drink all the alchohol you can as soon as you can. Hospitals won’t help you in time, 20 minutes you are blind, if not dead, if you have a high enough dose.
