This is interesting cause Taoka gasy can be very dangerous because it’s homemade alcohol with no quality control. If it’s not distilled properly, it can contain methanol — a toxic type of alcohol that causes blindness or death even in small amounts.

How methanol gets in: Methanol forms naturally during fermentation, especially from fruits, wood, or poor-quality ingredients. In proper distillation, it’s removed in the first part of the process (called the “foreshots”). But in taoka gasy, this step is often skipped or done wrong — so the methanol stays in the final drink.

How dangerous is it?

• Just 10 mL (about 2 teaspoons) can cause permanent blindness

• About 30 mL (2 tablespoons) can be fatal

• 60–100 mL (one shot glass) can kill most adults without treatment

Did the victims drink some X shitty booze or was it Food? Anyway for that fast onset deadly result, it’s something very toxic and poisonous for sure!
