Doctors warn of a deadly danger in "defrosted" cars.

 

The use of "non-freezing" liquids based on methanol poses a serious threat to human health, capable of causing serious illness and, in extreme cases, even death. This warning from Valentina Sova, a therapist at City Polyclinic No. 2 in Chernivtsi, sheds light on the potential dangers associated with consuming inexpensive liquids that are commonly sold along the roadway. At the root of the problem is methyl alcohol, a strong poison contained in some antifreeze liquids. The consequences of exposure to this substance have far-reaching consequences, affecting the nervous and vascular systems, the optic nerves and the retina. Routes of potential poisoning include inhalation, contact with intact skin, ingestion, irritation of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract and eyes, as explained by medical professionals. Long-term exposure to methanol can manifest itself in a variety of health problems, including, but not limited to, dizziness, liver and heart pain, blurred vision, upper respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders, dermatitis, neurasthenia, and vegetative-vascular dystonia. However, the most severe consequences occur when such liquids are ingested. Consumption of only 5-10 grams of non-freezing liquid can lead to severe poisoning, up to blindness, and 30 grams is a fatal dose for a person. In case of accidental consumption of "antifreeze liquid", the Owl calls for immediate action, recommending to call an ambulance as soon as possible and to induce vomiting as a first response. The urgency of this advice underscores the potentially dire consequences of using these dangerous substances. Educating the public about the dangers of such "antifreeze" fluids is critical to reducing the risks to people who may encounter these products on the road.
