Methanol is produced from vegetation, microbes and volcanic gases. It\u2019s often used as a solvent in various pharmaceuticals and as an industrial solvent for dyes, adhesives, resins, and inks. Importantly, consumers should be aware it is a chemical that may have detrimental effects whether exposure is short-term or long-term.<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms of toxic exposure to methanol include vomiting, nausea, headache, permanent blindness, coma, seizures, permanent nervous system damage or death. If you were exposed to hand sanitizer that has methanol in it, you should get treated immediately.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/chicago-consumers-should-be-aware-of-fda-recall-of-hand-sanitizers\/#more-2542\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, there were many questions about how best the public should protect itself.
