Hundreds of Iranians seeking a "magic cure" for coronavirus paid with their lives after drinking methanol.
Iranian media reported that at least 300 people died in the past few weeks after false reports claimed that drinking methanol aided recovery from coronavirus.

One of these "cures" was drinking methanol, a flammable, poisonous and colorless form of alcohol which is used as fuel and anti-freeze, and which can be used as a lethal poison.
Many Iranians decided to drink the methanol, despite the fact that alcohol consumption is strictly forbidden in the Muslim-ruled country. As a result, 300 of those who drank the methanol died, and another thousand are currently hospitalized.
Hussein Hasnian, an Iranian doctor working with Tehran's Health Ministry, told AP that "the scope of the problem is much greater. I estimate the number of deaths to be 480, and the number of those who became ill from drinking methanol to be at least 2,850."

Ironically, the cure for methanol poisoning is to drink lots of ethanol.
Good English stout doesn’t cure anything, but it does make you mind it less.
Double the dose. STAT!
Imagine these guys with nukes.
The methanol comes in a Stuxnet bottle.
Not the sharpest knives in the drawer.
Sadly ironic, as the Shiraz region was once famous for its wine.
LOL!!
Say the good, stout English.
Yeah, or tomato juice with a piece of celery will do the trick also.
President Trump and Dr. Debra should be doing PSAs in Iran too I guess.
Well at least they aren’t drinking aquarium tank cleaner.
If most these people were part of the Iranian resistance, they didn’t poison themselves.
Well, that guarantees they won’t die from the virus. Allahu Fubar.
