Citristrip is quite a bit safer to use than alcohol
Except it contains water, not a desirable thing on wood.

Denature alcohol is ethyl alcohol (the stuff you drink) denatured by adding any one of a number of things to make it unsuitable for consumption.

Adding a few percent methyl alcohol (wood alcohol) is a very common denature.

It is not any more dangerous than vodka.

The risk with methylene chloride is how your body metabolizes any you breath on or absorb through your skin.

It is turned into carbon monoxide in the body and ties up the hemoglobin you use to move oxygen around.
If you have ANY cardiac issues it can result in cardiac arrest.
