methanol

Calum is now working with the families of three other British people who died following methanol poisoning in South East Asia.

The family of a woman who died from suspected methanol poisoning while travelling in south-east Asia have succeeded in their campaign for compulsory education about the issue in schools.

In an interview with BBC South East, he said he was calling on the government to "increase the awareness among young people of a likelihood of methanol poisoning".

Medical specialists say drinking as little as 25ml of methanol can be fatal, but it is sometimes added to drinks because it is cheaper than alcohol.

In the study, alcohol, and particularly methanol, increased the males' production and release of chemical sex signals, called pheromones, which made them more attractive to females.
