..and yes your car does smell quite nasty
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

There is a world made of air, one of earth and one of water.
And there is one made of fire, and all of them fight for supremacy. They are fighting now, in my head.

I have never felt "right" about the following...
1. The excess unburnt fuel that is is inhaled during burn offs / during a performance.
2. The large amount of smoke from a carciogenic organic liquid being inhaled.
3. I used to wonder why I would get tired alot quicker when I spun with fire, then it occured to me... the flames burn a large amount of the oxygen around your body (especially with very large wicked doubles, in no wind and with lots of speed) also producing a large amount of CO/CO2. This results in very hot air with low oxygen levels and much higher CO and CO2 levels being taken into the lungs. Overall not very healthy for the lungs or your general well being.
As I recently mentioned in another thread...
Be aware of the possible combined effects of exposing your lungs to multiple carciogenic / irritants / dodgy chemicals. A recorded example of this is asbestos and smoking, the lung cancer incidence in the group that is exposed to both varibiables had something like 90 times the incidence in the smoking only or asbestos only groups. I would love to write more but funnily enough I must go study for my respiratory and CVS exam tommorow!!!
I'll write more in a couple of days.

I also worry about this alot. I consiously avoid cigerette smoke and smoky places, however light up when ever i can afford fuel. Burns/burnt hair don't really worry me however long term effects of twirling do. Sooo... thinking of incorperating a mouth cover into my costume. Like a black ski mask with decorations around the eyes/ ears and a hole to push my hair through. Do you think this would help? ie. would it reduse the amount of harmful fumes being inhaled enough to justify the lack of oxygen i will get while twirling (therefore the time i can spin before a break). Also what sort of material would be best? Wool would be to hot (+ flamable), so i guess it is down to cotten, even though it doesn't really have the elastisity to make a proper head mask. Anyones opinion would be great as i don't know much about materials or the breathing thing.
Thanks
