Yeah, you did.
Just call 1-800-222-1222 (National Poison Center) and ask them about the toxicity and effects of the two substances. They’re open 24/7.
Gasoline isn’t ‘safe’ but it doesn’t cause irreversible blindness with small doses like methanol does.
Hey, I’m not here to argue with you. I checked Wikipedia, and methanol does appear to be very toxic. However, take note of this:
Methanol is readily biodegradable in both aerobic (oxygen present) and anaerobic (oxygen absent) environments. Methanol will not persist in the environment. The half-life for methanol in groundwater is just one to seven days, while many common gasoline components have half-lives in the hundreds of days (such as benzene at 10–730 days). Since methanol is miscible with water and biodegradable, it is unlikely to accumulate in groundwater, surface water, air or soil.[20]
