Abstract

Firebreathing is sometimes seen in magic acts. This is, potentially, a very dangerous practice without the proper precautions. What follows is a report of an adolescent who became a habitual butane firebreather after imitating this act. He developed hemorrhagic esophagitis and gastritis. The type of adolescent who may experiment with dangerous practices is discussed.
