Iran, already struggling to fight the growing spread of novel coronavirus, is now coming to grips with an alcohol poisoning problem that has killed hundreds of people this year.
The rising number of poisoning casualties alarmed other alcohol users to avoid trusting their former dealers.
"My friend has started making alcohol at home after he lost a friend to poisoning earlier this month," he added."If you are unfamiliar with the process, you might end up poisoning your own stuff with a minor mistake. That's why I can't trust his first products," the student said. He said he rejected his friend's invitation to a drink at his place.
