Methanol (Wood Alcohol)

This post is also available in:

Methanol accumulates in the pancreas, causing diabetes, and in the eyes, leading to vision loss and retinal damage. It also impacts the nervous system, causing numbness, tremors, and seizures. The presence of methanol can attract pancreatic flukes such as Eurytrema pancreatica.

Mechanism: Methanol interferes with insulin-producing cells and alters pancreatic tissue, allowing flukes to establish themselves and disrupt glucose regulation.
