I believe methanol is absorbed through the skin much more readily than gasoline and is therefore a greater danger.

Well I don’t want you to bath in it. :)

Who is taking a bath in it? If there is a large accidental exposure, all you need is water.

You might be thinking of propanol.

But as I remember, wood alcohol burns with an “invisible” flame. You have to turn the lights out to see the flame. That makes it kinda dangerous if you get it on your clothing and catch it on fire...it’s hard to put out a flame that you can’t see.

Then again, I might be getting methanol and propanol mixed up.

We’ve already got government mandated ethanol added to our gasoline. If this stuff is so great, why don’t we just make our ethanol additive a 50-50 mix of ethanol and methanol?
