I'm not too worried about alcohol poisoning RE: home stills. It's people who don't toss the heads and tails that have a bad time: methanol poisoning sucks, and is the cause of most home distilling dangers (blindness, kidney failure, etc).
This is what I suspect most people will miss. Worldwide I think alcohol poisoning is adulteration of spirits with industrial alcohol but the heads and tails are not just methanol, it can have metal and chemical residues as well.
