Amanda Dennis warns backpackers in South-East Asia about the risk of methanol poisoning from drinking spirits.
Drinking spirits in popular gap year destinations like South-East Asia can be dangerous due to the risk of methanol poisoning, warns Amanda Dennis.
Many backpackers are unaware of this risk, which can lead to severe consequences, including blindness or death.
The danger persists even with sealed, shop-bought bottles, as methanol can be added during distillation or intentionally.
Conservative MP Laura Trott plans to propose a bill for clearer travel advice on this issue.
