Brazilian rapper Hungary hospitalized in ICU amid suspected methanol poisoning epidemic

Brazilian rapper Hungria was hospitalized in Brasilia with suspected methanol poisoning, a condition caused by consuming adulterated alcohol that can lead to blindness, coma, or death. He was admitted to the DF Star Hospital, where he was placed in intensive care and is undergoing hemodialysis and treatment with ethanol, the standard protocol for such poisonings. Despite the severity of the condition, Hungria is currently stable, symptom-free, and has normal eye exams, offering some relief to his fans. Authorities in Brazil are investigating an epidemic of fake alcohol incidents, with multiple confirmed and suspected cases of methanol poisoning in various states, including Sao Paulo and the Federal District. The Health Minister initially confirmed Hungria's methanol poisoning but later retracted the statement pending final lab test results. Hungria's family is pursuing a police investigation, and health officials urge the public to avoid consuming distilled alcohol due to the ongoing health risks.
