The UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has significantly expanded its methanol poisoning warning, adding 11 more countries to its advisory following what it calls “a global increase in the number of reported cases”.
An advisory put out in October included popular tourist destinations such as Ecuador and Mexico. The latest guidance adds other tourism favourites to that advisory, including India, Malaysia and Morocco, as well as Bangladesh, Iran, Jordan, Libya, Malawi, Nepal, Papua New Guinea and Rwanda.
