    If you have been exposed to hand sanitizer with methanol and are experiencing symptoms, seek immediate medical attention due to the potentially fatal effects of methanol poisoning. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system, or death.

    While everyone using these products is at risk of methanol poisoning, young children who accidentally ingest the product and adolescents and adults who drink it as a substitute for ethanol are most vulnerable. ”.
