Ethylene glycol is a colorless, odorless, sweet-tasting but poisonous type of alcohol found in many household products. People sometimes drink ethylene glycol mistakenly or on purpose as a substitute for alcohol.
Ethylene glycol is very toxic. Every year, many people and animals are accidentally poisoned by ethylene glycol.
What are the causes and risks of the condition?
Poisoning by ethylene glycol and methanol requires early diagnosis and treatment to prevent accumulation of their toxic acid metabolites and subsequent development of profound metabolic acidosis and end-organ complications.

Symptoms ...
Ethylene glycol, the main component of most antifreezes and coolants, is metabolized to glycoaldehyde, which undergoes subsequent sequential oxidations to yield glycolate, glyoxylate, and oxalate.
