I was reading the msds and was kind of blown away by what it had. Methanol or Methy-alcohol is highly poisonous and can cause you to go blind, along with affecting your nervous system. I checked out a bottle in the truck and its marked with a Danger, poison print.

Really surprised me to see such a typical house hold item containing that stuff. I guess its there to keep it from freezing, plus it melts bugs off.

My dad a couple years back was exposed to that methanol in the gas fields and had to constantly have his blood work monitored due to high levels of something it caused. I don't remember exactly what the high level was but it took months to get his blood levels normal afterward.

Even more screwed up was reading in books and online about CLEANING your muzzy with pure methanol! Works better than water they say
