Denaturated Ethyl Alcohol, Suitable For Frequent Use?

[Astolfo]

How toxic is it? Do the additives (methanol, pyridine etc.) directly harm the skin and body?

Methanol is not great. Why do you want to use this? Why not use Spirytus vodka?

I live in turkey, I can’t use alcoholic beverages to using them as an antiseptic as they are very expensive.


The cologne im using has alcohol denat instead of ethyl alcohol. I wonder how toxic it could be in the long term.

I had some tiny chaps on my hands so i guess i absorped more than usual amount of alcohol from rubbing it. Could this amount of methanol really damage my nervous system? What i can do now?

 

[Spud]

That amount won’t do damage. Theres more in dark spirits and wine.

"Ethyl alcohol is a
common potentially toxic substance that can have this effect, causing oxidative damage by allowing an excess of electrons to accumulate in the cell, shifting the cells' balance away from the stable oxidized state."
