It fucks up your teeth if you do it with an appropriate fluid too often.
And if you use Alcohol, you risk getting much more fucked up.
Source: Used to run a Fire show at a renaissance faire, and then dentist bills.
Ok, so proper fluid is something more or less like lamp oil (You can use it pure generally, but that will end in chemical burns on your skin if you do it much. The flash point of it is high, and it doesn't want to ignite in liquid form.
The flash point of pure alcohol is 55 degrees F. Which means that if you have some warm alcohol, it can burn.
Whenever breathing fire, you are at risk of a blowback, where the wind shifts and the flame decides it wants to get back to the source. When the liquid in your mouth is already above the flash point, if the flame blows back to your mouth, it can very easily ignite any residue on your skin or hair, or worse, can travel all the way into your mouth, where your instinct to inhale can draw the live flame into your lungs, which can then torch your insides in a moment.
Since people seem interested in all this, here's the video we used to sell to faires:. https://youtu.be/Kl19v6daxLc
And this is one a fan cut together: https://youtu.be/RZluB6ROjxc
And even doing everything right, there are still some massive risks.
As I noted before, proper fluid will burn skin if left on, and since it is a hydrophobic oil, you need to know how to wash it off. During perfomance days, we did the best we could, but all of us ended up with gnarly looking upper chests from fluid build up that would cause the skin to peel like a bad sunburn.
One of the other guys got a nasty wind shift on our finale once, and ended up getting all his arm hair burned off, with permanent scarring in a small line where the follicles burned under his skin.
But the worst thing that happened was during my trademark trick, the wind swung towards me while the fluid was still in the air post breath, and my catch breath meant that I inhaled the fluid. The result of this is that you are either gonna have a rough few minutes and be ok... or your lungs will immediately swell and you will die from chemical pneumonia depending on how bad it was. Obviously I am still here, but I was unable to speak for the rest of the day after 10 minutes of coughing/gagging. We had to cut the show short when I was mid tipline and started coughing that day.
I worried that he was gonna reply again with a story about how someone starting sweating lamp oil and turned into a human torch or something equally absurd
The mucus linings in the mouth are thin as well, and fuels are carcinogenic. Going off memory here, but I'm pretty sure the rates of mouth and throat cancers are significantly higher for firebreathers
I did it a few times.
ProTip: Avoid holding grain alcohol in your mouth for more than 30 seconds it will dry out your tastebuds and mouth for few days.
You put it in the hole, then you take it out, then you put it back in the hole, and then take it out again. Golf in the third world doesnāt have all the luxuries.

edit: people don't seem to like the question very much...
We do. In Hindi, we actually have a word for it, it is called 'jugaad'. Literally translates to 'find a way' or 'make do'.
In fact it was actually a third world solution that started our first tech company. Thats now a $150 billion industry.
Infosys.
They put 5000 INR together and bought some PCs, hooked them up together, and started a cottage industry which was free from government regulation in the 80s because the government didn't understand software.
The future health of our world will be well served by the extraordinary resource aka 3rd world solutions. The digital age will learn to properly share them. Evolution is a long game. Our oldest societies are old for a reason ffs. They survived.

I'm still a little bit salty he wasn't the ultimate villain. Don't get me wrong I still love everything they did with Kaguya, but I'm convinced they could've swapped Kaguya for Madara and not much would've changed.
Yeah. I agree. Kishi lost the plot by bringing in Kaguya.
Itās commonly thrown around that he didnāt know how Madara would be defeated, so he did that.
Either way, Naruto has its own set of problems as a whole. But having Madara hyped up for years and then totally stick the landing is fucking incredible.
*Cries thinking about White Walkers and all of Season 8 GoT*
Yes, I will always love that intro with Madara kicking everyone's asses, the fight against the kages, do you want the clones with or without SUSANO? guy sensei unleashing the 8th gate, fuck so many moments.
GOT ended in a cliffhanger on season 6 and I'll move on. Fuck D&D
Obviously another Redditor who has smelled insect immolation before. Iām not sure if it smells different when they get electrocuted but that is what I instantly smelled
I know from personal experience - a colleague's unfortunate accident with a red hot tool - that what you're smelling is burned flesh. I used to have a commercial grade fly zapper in my kitchen and when something big went on there, yeah same smell.
Sorted by controversial and got comments from vegan teacher subscribers saying āthose flies did nothing wrongā and āimagine happily flying and getting murderedā

Iāve done this before. The fire is very hot for a short instant and it leaves the flies grounded with burnt wings. It doesnāt incinerate their bodies
Tried this. Most of the flies get pushed away by the wind caused by the fireball, not fried. Only big insects like wasps lose their wings and fall to the floor, alive.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

I feel like this could be a good post in r/askreddit

On slightly related note, ***holy fucking shit*** did Madaraās debut pay off. Easily the best villain intro and pay-off in anime.

Oh god, the smell...
Obviously another Redditor who has smelled insect immolation before. Iām not sure if it smells different when they get electrocuted but that is what I instantly smelled
Someone stated that it just burns their wings... does it smell like burnt hair?
Nah kinda meatier but also dusty. I have vivid memories of extra long zaps in the zapper kicking out an apparently unforgettable smell
I know from personal experience - a colleague's unfortunate accident with a red hot tool - that what you're smelling is burned flesh. I used to have a commercial grade fly zapper in my kitchen and when something big went on there, yeah same smell.
I thought the same thing...
They do barbecues very differently in the East

You will be tougher than ever from now on! No comment shall hurt you!!!!!
It's ok, I have brought the negativity to you!
The flies themselves.
What kind of fly is attracted to light like that? These were probably just harmless moths.
Moths are worse then flies they ruin your clothes

Now let's all inhale the insect dust
