Yes. Certainly....I hear it is very dangerous for dead people. Causes cancer or something.
Science is our friend.
It is the methyl alcohol...
that will kill you immediately............................
Reminds me of an Abbot and Costello routine.
“Take this package over to Mel’s house. It’s for Mel to Hide”.
“What is it?”
“Formaldehyde.”
“But what is it?”
“Formaldehyde. For Mel to hide.”
Formaldehyde is an A2 carcinogen and mutagen.
Another misconception: there is an old urban legend that PCP is “embalming fluid”/formaldehyde. Some idiots even dip joints or cigarettes in formaldehyde based on that, thinking it will somehow get them higher.
“It is the methyl alcohol (aka wood alcohol) that renders formalin acutely toxic; thus, no one could routinely imbibe such a solution. Lugosi died of a heart attack at age 73, and had been free from addiction for about a year.”
Straight living will kill ya.

Try it.
- Oh, what happened?
- What happened?
Formaldehyde. We put in just a touch of formaldehyde for flavour.
Some people get sick, yeah.
So if you have to be rushed to a hospital, then when you return... - I give you a free salad.
- Well, that seems fair. It really does.
- You'll get used to it.
- Maybe.
We used to use lots of formaldehyde in the chicken hatcheries. Liquid, to fumigate the eggs just before hatching time, and powdered, mixed with water in a hot plate to fumigate the boxes.
We used to send the new guys to get the liquid form, and told them to be sure to mix it in HOT WATER!
One good gassing was all it took to make them realize you mix it in COLD water.
