Posted: ok, so i realise most of you guys don't actually need to be warned about the dangers of firebreathing, but i thought i'd share my story anyway. A few nights ago, some guy saw me twirling out the front of my house, and asked my if i could bring my stuff up to his place and twirl for the people at his house-party. It was all going well, when i decided i'd do some firebreathing for these lovely folk. Now, I'd researched firebreathing, and practiced quite often with water, and had done it successfully a few times before. This time however 'something' went wrong, and i ended up swallowing quite a bit of kerosene, and managed to inhale some into my lungs too. So i've spent the last three days in the emergency ward at the Royal Melbourne Hostpital, having chest x-rays and tubes stuck down my throat, unable to breathe properly, and being pumped full of pain-killers and anibiotics to fight the infection in my lungs.. not very pleasant at all. Anyway, i just thought this might help prevent someone else being hurt, hearing first hand that it really is quite dangerous! stay safe!

Posted: also i just read your thing over pele. i don't want to preach about "my" side. i'm trying to adress what i thought was something wrong. go to renegade, and see how they handle doing firebreathing teaching. i think it is great how they talk about the pros and cons of each fuel, and the dangers that each one presents to the body also. now, that is what i hope to achieve here, that you put ALL the information out there that you can, and let people decide. now i saw that the way to do this was blocked- because you have erroneouos information about ethyl alcohol, and it's dangers as compared to kero. so now i'm trying to overcome that blockage. now, even if everything i am saying about vapor/chemical pneumonia is wrong, shouldn't you still put forth the information to people that rum is a choice? out of responsibility? i mean what if all this time, you've been misinformed, and the people who say that rum is safer are right? can you live with that? because things are connected. when you teach, you are connected karmically. i feel like *I* am the one trying to break dowm the dogma here, not the other way around! kero is poisonous. highly. alcohol is too. slightly. you drink a pint of kero and i'll drink a pint of alcohol. you breathe parrafin vapours and i'll breathe rum vapours. both ways, you're gonna drop, and i'll just be smashed.

Posted: hey guys, just wanted to say thanks for the concern.. I'm feeling quite a bit better now, and hopefully the antibiotics will keep working.
I don't feel that i know enough to be a part of the whole 'which fuel' disscusion, but i hope something useful comes out of it to reduce the number of people who end up hurt. Although i guess there will always be huge risks involved, no matter which fuel is being used. I s'pose then all you can really do is inform people of the risks, so they do not underestimate them, as i seemingly did.

Posted: arashi, I do not endorse trying fire-anything at all because it is dangerous. If people choose to do this, then I am presenting them with the safest options, not all the options, if I were to do that I would also be putting rubbing alcohol and gasolene on the list as viable. I will not. What I choose to do is stupid and dangerous, and I know this (even poi). I don't endorse it to anyone. I express my opinions when asked. I do not teach fire and will not. I share with those who have already made their choice without my influence. Therefore, my karma is fine. I ***know*** my information is not erroneous. I have talked to enough well-educated people in many chemically and fire based fields to know better. You keep contradicting yourself, between posts in this thread and between threads. You are presenting hypotheticals which have no bearing currently in the world of fire. You can not decide if it is technique and teaching (in which case biodiesel will work fine) or if it is all about toxicity, in which case *no* fuel is safe, of if it is about the fuel itself (ie: density and composition) in which case thin is in. You have presented contradicting arguements all over this site about these issues. They all are important. In the end, I feel no one should be fire breathing. We know this is not going to happen. If you feel so uncomfortable with it, then stop arashi. That is the point. Preaching is not going to do anything, and your mode of preaching is really making you come out looking uninformed and indecisive.
And for the record, may I remind you (or post the email here?), I am the one who told you to post your plight here, and I am the one who told you where to go. So **do not** go accuse me of trying to limit perspective and options. There is your biggest contradiction.
This is my last post on this. It is getting to personal for me.
Falloutboy...happy to see you doing so well! You will be up and among the land of the healthy breathing in no time! Did they give you horse pills for meds or the yummy pink bubble gum flavoured liquid!?

Posted: I'd like to start by saying a happy h@llz yeah to fallout boy, Good to hear you'll be back and walkin around normal soon. You have the most out of everyone on this topic to teach.
As for pele and arashi, I never thought I'd say this but you two sound like children arguing over a toy! Gesah!! Get over it all fuel is bad, Stuckin down tailpipe fumes is prolly more healthy then anything that's been discussed here so far. The answer to a healthy fireball isn't in what type of fuel it's in the how... Think about it use alittle creativity and think of ways of creating the same effect without your mouth... I have the answer but while I'm totally possitive it's safe malcom has asked me not to disclose it to anyone.

Posted: well, i'm sorry that it has gotten too personal. maybe you are more responsible for that than you are aware of. i certainly never wanted to get 'personal'- in fact i have been self effacing, apologetic for my shortcomings, even to the point of self derision, to try and keep you from getting defensive, to open up, and start talking rather than this bitching match! you are still just going through and categorically denying me. my points are still derided, my intelligence questionend,i've been INSULTED(by your boyfriend, who no doubt has a lot of his opinions from talking to you), shut down, you've EVEN tried (rather erroneously) pschoanalyzing my motives down to 'post traumatic stress', and then that whole business about trying to get people to "step up and defend" me. JEEEZ! EVEERYTHING WITH YOU IS ABOUT WHO IS WRONG(me) AND WHO IS RIGHT(you). i'm trying to get above that. it's still not working. i'm pretty sick of it myself, esp. the self effacing part. i wonder if i shouldn't have been sterner, tried going tit for tat- does that work? i know i'm contradicting myself, slightly, about which fuel to use! because there is no truth, no absolute! all along i've simply been trying to open your mind to other possibilities, other options, other TRUTHS. you told me if i wanted to try get you to list alcohol as a fuel for those who are concerned with toxins, to take it here.to the board. so i did, and have got nothing but shit! and walls! i can totally respect your decision not to post anymore. i am deliberately trying to open you up, and it's getting a little difficult. just know that i have NOOOOO hard feelings here. i have just been emphatic because i felt the situation needed it. and i still believe that you are karmically involved. did you go to the renegade website, see their fuel and firebreathing section? that's what i call karma free! and near as i can tell, they mostly endorse lamp oil. that's fine! i think it's okay to endorse something that you believe in. but i don't think it's okay to shut information out when you don't agree with it. that's what happened to aristotle. not that i'm aristotle here! the earth is flat, everybody knows that, now... i know we must agree to disagree. i've known it would end that way for a while now. but i'm still just trying to help you out with your people skills. heck, i'll sum it up for you. i'm an a-hole, who's been trying to pester you, for no reason other than some boring psycho-drama because he got fuel poisoning... it seems like that's the way you see it! so be it! but is that the way things should go in a community of humans? i mean rather than spend all that time projecting on to me, couldn't we just talk? try it sometime!

Posted: btw, for those of you still interested in info(rozi)...been looking up the msds sheets more(thank god for debating!) and found out more. having kero or lamp oil in your STOMACH (much less your mouth)can cause chemical pneumonia. the vapors rise up out of your stomach and enter your lungs. puking is bad for the same reason, it exposes your lungs to even more vapor than just letting it stay there. (drink whipping cream, or high fat something!) so apparently the vapors are even more dangerous than the poisonous nature of most kero, else they would say go ahead and puke it up. so don't inhale very much when you have lamp oil or kero in your mouth. and just for advocacy's sake- the vapors from ethanol are not dangerous, at least b4 fire. puke away, drink away, we all know that...but know that firebreathing with alcohol is MUCH more dangerous, once it leaves your mouth and hits the flame. so choose wisely! which is more important, your fear of getting burned, or your fear of poisoning? you decide!!!! and don't aspirate ANY kind of particulated fuel, or water, or anything! aspirate means to inhale, to breathe in. look it up! so when you blow out, stay away from that cloud of particles! hopefully it's a BIG cloud! long live fire!

Posted: Hi Mike, lol, yeah too much water can kill you. However, with kero, I was under the impression that one of the health risks was associated with inhaling the fine particles (2.5 microns) that are given off during incomplete burning. I suppose the question is, would a fuel with a lower flash point (like white gas) burn hotter and leave less particles in the air?
Also, while were talikng fuels. Some fuels like firewater are reputed to smell nice after burning. Would this indicate aromatic hydrocarbons in the fuel, which I have always believed to be rather dangerous? Thanks

Posted: I'm not trying to say that kero is safe and that we should swim and bathe in it naked and have huge parties where we drink it and inhale its vapors into our lungs (although, come to think of it, we do do that, don't we? )
All I'm trying to say is that an MSDS is to be taken with a grain of salt. No doubt kero and naptha are nasty things that aren't very good for you.
Someone on another section recommended vegetable oil. If it works, it might be better for you.

Pele, my pleasure.
My favorite part of the MSDS is that if you get water on your skin or in your eyes, you should immediately flush the exposed area with...water.
Also, it says that if your water catches on fire, you can put it out with -- yup, you guessed it -- water.
Incidentally, if you think that was scary, you should see the MSDS for sodium chloride (table salt) or sucrose (table sugar). My lord, you'll never get near your kitchen table again without wearing one of those gas mask thingies!
Peace.
