Methanol poisoning has been a significant public health challenge for several
decades in Iran. Even though alcohol use is highly criminalized, people consume
illicit alcohol, which tends to be predominantly homemade and often contains
methanol. Consequently, thousands of individual poisonings and hundreds of deaths
annually are attributable to methanol poisoning. From February 19, 2020 through
April 27, 2020, the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic rapidly expanded
in Iran, and has been associated with 90,481 confirmed cases and 5710 confirmed
deaths. Secondary to misinformation about the potential for alcohol to neutralize
SARS-CoV-2, there has also been a significant escalation in methanol-related
morbidity and mortality, with over 5000 people poisoned and over 500 confirmed
deaths for the same period from February through April 2020. In some provinces,
the case-fatality rate of methanol poisoning was higher than that from COVID-19.
The high morbidity and mortality associated with methanol poisoning preceding and
exacerbated by COVID-19 highlight the potential population level health impacts
of the implementation of evidence-based education and harm reduction strategies
focused on alcohol use across Iran.
