During the midst of the coronavirus pandemic -- and especially towards the beginning -- there was a huge run on hand sanitizers as people sought to maintain proper hand hygiene as to lower their chances of catching COVID. In turn, it wasn't long before we started to see dozens of hand sanitizer brands being recalled due to the presence of methanol, a substance that can be especially toxic to humans.
Methanol, which is also known as wood alcohol, can cause a myriad of severe symptoms when absorbed through the skin. Some of the more jarring complications can include permanent blindness, seizures, and vomiting. In 2020, there were even a few instances of individuals dying from methanol poisoning. All told, the FDA throughout 2020 banned more than 100 hand sanitizers due to the presence of methanol.
