Licked sanitizer by mistake

2021-11-18 08:11:11
I applied a lot of dettol instant sanitizer (3 drops) (72% alcohol denatured I.P.) on my hand and I ate sweets after that which was wet so I think some of the dettol sanitizer went in my mouth, i am very worried about methanol poisoning as it was denatured alcohol. Should I go to a hospital?
