What's a scientific fact that sounds made up but is 100% real?

If you get methanol poisoning for example from badly made liquor then the remedy for that is to drink ethanol (good liquor).

I always keep a bottle of medicinal vodka around.

Also glycol poisoning. Like if you drink antifreeze for your car, one treatment is to drink a bunch of alcohol so the liver processes the alcohol and not the ethelyne glycol.

Is this for real? Any links? Not doubting you but it’s always been a dark thought I can’t push away about accidentally drinking that stuff.

This one talks about injecting ethanol straight into the veins for quick absorption. https://scienceinsights.org/treating-ethylene-glycol-poisoning-antidotes-and-dialysis/

Or this one. Skip to “ethanol treatment” https://archive.cdc.gov/www_atsdr_cdc_gov/csem/ethylene-propylene-glycol/treatment.html

I saw on TV where a woman tried to poison her husband with antifreeze, but since it was mixed with alcohol it took him more than a week to die.

Same with acetaminophen poisoning.
