when I saw the headline on wikipedia's front page I had to read it a few times to make sure I had read it and understood it properly!

bottles contained methanol rather than ethyl alcohol as stated on label! but still, even if it's 1/3rd of the price of vodka, you must be pretty desparate to drink that :(

Quote:
A vlogger reportedly accidentally poisoned herself while eating what she thought was Aloe Vera. The Chinese social media star, who goes by the name Ms Zhang, was videoing herself to demonstrate the health benefits of the plant.

However, she had bought the wrong type of plant and it did not have any health benefits at all - in fact, it was poisonous.

The 26-year-old feasted on Agave Americana, a poisonous plant from Mexico, according to local reports.
This is only going to get worse...
