Dietary vaccine for inhibiting metabolism of methanol

A method for inhibiting the metabolism by the human body of methanol to form formaldehyde and formic acid, said method including the steps of

• (a) providing a metabolic dietary vaccine, said dietary vaccine including
• (i) at least one source of ethanol selected from the group class consisting of ethyl alcohol vapor and a polyethyl compound vapor, said polyethyl compound being obtained by reflexing polygalacturonide and absolute ethyl alcohol, and
• (ii) fluid carrier means for said source of ethanol;
• and,
• (b) introducing said dietary vaccine in the respiratory tract of an individual, said carrier means, when introduced in and moving along at least a selected portion of said respiratory tract, permitting the continuous absorption of ethanol into the respiratory tract and the blood stream of the individual in minor effective amounts sufficient to
• establish a concentration of ethanol in the blood stream, inhibit the metabolism of methanol by the individual's body, and
• avoid intoxication of the individual by said ethanol.
