This document summarizes the toxicity and treatment of methanol (wood alcohol) poisoning. Key points include: - Methanol is metabolized to formaldehyde and formic acid, which are more toxic than methanol itself and can cause metabolic acidosis. - Symptoms of poisoning may take 1-24 hours to appear and include drunkenness, delirium, coma, and potentially blindness or death from respiratory depression. - Treatment involves gastric lavage, administering ethanol to prevent methanol metabolism, as well as hemodialysis, folic acid, and maintaining electrolyte and acid-base balance.
