a) Use Lynx, sometimes Lynx will show results, sometimes it does not and
complains of no Javascript.

The  Perl library WWW::Mechanize::Shell will do something like that.

The name of the website you refer to?..

 A lot of those things are disclosing allergies now, with them being
 used so often. During my hospital stay recently, I was told that hand
 sanatiser was causes problems. The Nurses said that at one large
 hospital, (before the  lockdowns) children were buying bottles of cola,
 drinking some and then would 'visit' some semiconsious patiends, and
 fill up the bottles with sanatiser. Dangerous stuff.

 One lady that visited me would sit beside the bed, sniff the sanatiser,
 and say, 'aaaa'

Considering it’s poison, I’d guess so. There has been some concern lately
about absorbing itnthrunthe skin.

How toxic depends on what exactly is in it, obviously. You'd want to
make damned sure it's ethanol and that the denaturing agents aren't too
nasty. Regardless, of course, it's not worth it. It's going to at the
very least taste horrible even if it doesn't hurt you any worse than a
few shots of hard liquor actually intended for drinking.

As for absorption through the skin, I would've thought the amounts would
be fairly insignificant - but it's far outside my area of expertise, so
I could easily be wrong.

Alcoholics have drunk worse, when they couldn’t get anything better.

I don’t have a cite, I just heard (CNN maybe?) that it could be dangerous,
at least for some products.

Sure. If they're at a certain stage there's probably no way to stop
them.

I gather that hand santitizers were usuallly methanol and isopropanol,
but in the pandemic as bars closed and beer demand dropped, they
distilled what they couldn't sell and now the sanitizers you find are
mostly ethanol.

I still wouldn't drink it.

Methanol poisoning is not pleasant, blindness, kidney failure, not infrequently death.

Oh, neither would I. Unfortunately, some desperate individuals out there
apparently would.

That's for sure.

I still have some old pre-covid hand sanitiser. Ethyl alcohol - which is
ethanol. Never heard of any methanol based hand sanitiser, although
there were some iso-propanol based sanitiser.

There were some sanitisers pulled from shelves a few weeks ago in the
US. They had methonal in them. Didn't make much news, but supposedly
they are gone now.

In the US, there were some "Brand X" ones that popped up containing 
methanol, though the label usually said "ethanol". Mostly made in 
Mexico. I expect somebody down there was cutting corners, perhaps a 
supplier of bulk ethanol, or maybe they were using ethanol that was 
denatured with methanol.

I am reminded that parents are strange creatures.  I got a chemistry
set for one of my birthdays.  It had in it an alcohol lamp and there
were some exercises with glassworking in the instruction book.  The
instruction book said to use methyl alcohol in the lamp.  My parents
would not allow me to have methyl alcohol because "if you drink it
you'll go blind".  Apparently they did not read the label on the
rather diluted isopropyl that they would allow me to have which did
not run the lamp hot enough to be useful but if drunk would make me go
equally blind.  Or for that matter the label on the chemistry set--I'm
pretty sure that they would not have been happy with the outcome if I
had drunk the nitric, sulfuric, or hydrochloric acids.

I think they’ve dumbed-down chemistry sets these days, much to the
detriment of both fun and actually learning anything.

As a kid (11-12), I used to walk to the corner druggist and buy sulfur and
potassium nitrate by the pound (in paper bags, dispensed from
barrels in the cellar).

A bit of potassium permanganate and some glycerin as a exothermic
ignition mechanism...

Today, that would probably raise all kinds of red flags.

I think they have also dumbed-down high school chemistry pantries.

Too much information readily available on the internet for mischief makers with access to 
interesting substances.

I don't know what it's like now.  I'm tempted sometimes to enroll in
freshman chemistry at the local community college just to see what
they're doing these days.
