Fire breathing, also known as pyrotechnics or fire-eating, is the performance art of breathing fire. It is a dangerous and potentially harmful practice that should only be attempted by trained professionals. Fire breathing involves igniting a flammable liquid, such as kerosene or lighter fluid, in the mouth and then expelling it in a controlled manner to create a stream of fire. The performer must be able to control the flow of fuel and air in order to prevent the fire from burning their mouth or throat.
Fire breathing has been practiced for centuries, and there are many different techniques that can be used. Some performers use a wick to ignite the fuel, while others use a torch. The type of fuel used can also vary, and some performers even use flammable liquids that are not intended for human consumption. Fire breathing is often used as a form of entertainment, and it can be seen at carnivals, festivals, and other events.
