Methanol hand sanitizer?

How dangerous are the methanol-tainted hand sanitizers that the FDA identified? Do I need medical attention from one application? Or how much would it take to be dangerous?

One application does not require medical attention. All illnesses associated with these products so far have been from people ingesting the hand sanitizer.
