Thanks? Campaign are you're going well?

We're talking about what's happened in Fiji. Authorities are saying that there was no methanol in the drinks that were consumed. Does sound like toxins were involved? What's your take on it?

We're talking about what's happened in Fiji. Authorities are saying that there was no methanol in the drinks that were consumed. Does sound like toxins were involved? What's your take on it?

Yeah, Well, look, there were six people who became very unwell up drinking pinucladas, and four of them were Australians and some of them were really really unwell, so we had two of them were having siezures and one of them spent three days in intensive care. So there's something pretty serious going on there, but we still don't know exactly what's happening. Obviously, the authorities have said that methanol is not involved, but we're still going to do some more testing in Australia because the Australians have got back home safely now and they'll have some blood testing seeing what's going on from this end, so that we've probably got some better, better analysis going on from the sin once they've arrived here and been checked out safe.

So talking about Loo, obviously methanol was involved there and they certainly know that if that's not the case here, as you said, further testing needs to be done because what's actually happened here, and it's quite concerning.

Yeah, yeah, So methanol is that's a byproduct from sort of homemade spirits. So when if it's not made in a careful way alcohol and when it's made in some sort of like moonshine, you can get methanol production. And then if that is ingested, even up to as little as twenty mils can be toxic and very very powerful, including death. So and that was that was shown in layout have happened and they over there you can buy alcohol for the dollar a liter, so it's just so cheap when you've got the homemade alcohol.

Is there any way we could protect ourselves, you know, from this type of poisoning overseas before? How do you know?

Look, unfortunately, and it's really really hard to detect, you know, we just we don't have any simple tests you can do when you buy a drink, so you just need to be really cautious. I think if you open your own bottle that's sort of a commercial alcohol drink, then you're probably safer. But you know, drinking cocktails and things like that. Overseas, it does have a risk, particularly in lower socio economic countries. It actually happens a lot more than we think, and often to the locals because they are getting cheaper our cool even in US.

Yeah, well, it's devastating for the tourism and the economies of these countries like Fiji if people aren't going to turn up because they feel that the drinks are going to be spiked. I mean, obviously this authorities are going to make a big deal of this.

Yes, and a five star resort, so you think you're going somewhere that you know you is safe and reputable and so forth, you know, and then this happens, So it's not good.

Yeah. CG definitely has a much better reputation, you know, and this was a five star hotel that's never seemed to have had any problems before. So it is very odd, very strange. And look, they'll be getting onto it very fast over there and checking what's going on. But hopefully, hopefully it's something which won't be repeated, if it's if that sort of checked out and sort.

Of all right, well, doctor Jeremy, we'll leave it there, thank you so much. Wait for the findings when the toxicologists bring it back to Australia and find out what's going on there. So thank you.
