Can moonshine make you blind?

[JakeWareham]

I had my first run last night, i distilled 5 gallons of wash and collected quite abit of shine, i dont have a themometer on my still so i was just going on judging it, i threw out 200 mls of the first stuff that came out of my still every run(i was only running 16 qaurts at a time, anyways i have my shine but im kind of afraid to enjoy my product because i am worried of all the stories i have heard about moonshine making people really sick... Will it or will it not? Any help will be appriciated thanks!
