Hi Layla. Long exposure to sulfur gas will be harmful to health. Since we visited the Blue Fire for a short time, the sulfur gas just irritated the eyes whenever the wind blew. No one wore safety goggles, but it would be a good idea if someone plans to stay at the Blue Fire for a while. We wished we had swim goggles!

I didn’t know you could see sulfur in this state. Looks out of this world. Is the sulfur damaging to the eyes? I was just wondering whether they recommend safety goggles in addition to the gas masks.
