Method Methanol

[tony.end]

I recently heard of this substance while studying chemistry, it's an alcohol with just one Carbonium and apparently it works and it's not hardly obtainable. In spite of this I never heard of it here so I'm really curious.

it's sold on amazon and other chemistry websites.

here are some sources that I found about attempted suicides with methanol:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29908646 succeeded
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19597688 failed for early rescue

I really don't know much about it so i'm just asking.
Here's wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol_toxicity
it would seem legit to pair it with good antiemetics maybe but I'd rather shut up and let someone else more informed than me say his/her 2 cents.

So what do you think? Do you know something about it? Is it reliable?

What about gasoline?

The worst thing is that it can cause blindness or brain damage if you are resqued. See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pärnu_methanol_tragedy

urgh.. that's the worst thing about it. But should one be able to avoid rescue it seems to me that it has a high percentage of success. Still, the collateral effects are really bad and i'm not sure they are reversible..
