Methyl alcohol, commonly known as methanol, is a toxic alcohol that can cause severe poisoning when ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Its toxicity arises primarily from its metabolic conversion in the liver by alcohol dehydrogenase to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, both of which are highly toxic to human tissues, particularly the optic nerve and the central nervous system. Methanol poisoning is often accidental, occurring through the ingestion of adulterated alcoholic beverages or exposure in industrial settings. The signs and symptoms of methyl alcohol poisoning typically develop in a latent period of 12 to 24 hours after exposure, due to the time required for methanol metabolism. Early symptoms are nonspecific and can mimic ethanol intoxication, including headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Gastrointestinal irritation is common, resulting in anorexia, epigastric discomfort, and sometimes diarrhea. As poisoning progresses, more severe manifestations occur. Visual disturbances are hallmark features, starting with blurred vision, photophobia, and “snowfield” vision, eventually progressing to complete blindness if untreated. Neurological symptoms may include confusion, lethargy, vertigo, ataxia, and in severe cases, seizures and coma. Respiratory symptoms such as rapid
