A teenage girl has returned home from Bali after nearly dying from a cocktail containing methanol she drank while on schoolies
A PERTH student is believed to have become the latest victim of drink poisoning at Bali nightclubs after she fell ill and was hospitalised last week.
Tessa Mettam, 19, from Mindarie was in Kuta with friends and visited the Bounty nightclub when she started to become sick while she was drinking.
She told Seven News she "kept going unconscious" and suffered seizures.
Friends rushed her to hospital and her family suspect she was a victim of methanol poisoning.
She has since been released from the Bali hospital and is now back in Perth.
Ms Mettam's scare came after two teenage girls from NSW celebrating school leavers in Kuta fell sick, also after visiting the Bounty club.
Stephanie Lamb, 17, was poisoned and began coughing up blood, before she fell unconscious. She ended up in the same hospital as 18-year-old Jasmine Baker.
Ms Baker, who was flown from Bali to Royal Darwin Hospital on Friday, has now returned to her NSW Central Coast home, where she will receive further treatment.
Her father Errol Baker credited the early intervention of her friends for saving her life.
"What Jazzy remembers is that she knew she was in trouble and once her friends realised that she lost her eyesight they knew something dangerous was happening," he said today.
"I am just so grateful for a young 17-year-old boy to take the lead and he probably saved my daughter's life."
In a Facebook post he wrote just after his daughter became ill on Thursday night, Errol Baker issued a warning to all schoolies.
He wrote: "Drinks spiked with methanol served at the Bounty last night (in Kuta) and two other smaller bars close by.
"If you feel sick and your eyesight becomes fuzzy or blurred seek medical attention.
"BETTER STILL IF ITS NOT IN A BOTTLE OR CAN DONT DRINK IT."
He said people never really knew how much they loved their children until they were vulnerable, alone and they needed their parents to be there.
The latest incident comes after a Perth teenager died in January, after being poisoned by a methanol-laced cocktail in Indonesia.
Liam Davies, 19, had been celebrating New Year at a local bar in Lombok when he consumed the lethal drink.
He was flown back to Perth but died days later.
