A fire performer ended up with severe burns after using alcohol-based hand sanitiser and red food dye to set himself alight in a performance, US doctors are reporting.
The 23-year-old was among a minority group of fire performers who take the risk beyond fire breathing by “painting fire on the body”, they say.
