Russia: 7 People Die As They Consume Hand Sanitisers Instead Of Alcohol

After consuming hand sanitiser in absence of liquor, at least seven people lost their lives and two others were in coma in Russia. As reported by The Moscow Times, all the nine people ordered a 5-litre sanitiser tank from a grocery store after they ran out of alcohol. With 69% methanol, the sanitiser acted as a poison for them as anything above 30 grams of methanol is toxic to humans.
