As little as 10 mL (0.34 US fl oz) of pure methanol can cause permanent blindness by destruction of the optic nerve.

They'll benefit from seeing-eye dogs.

Oh, wait...

Whoa! I thought they were getting all Corona bullet proof by going around licking holy shrines and sacred places. Ya mean it didn’t work? Omigod!
And the methanol method didn’t work either?
