Bunsen Burners are dangerous because someone in our school leant in on a Bunsen burner and she burnt off her fringe! It then went to the rest of her hair. So her eye has swelled up and she had to have the skin taken off the side of her face (cuz it was that bad) and it had to be replaced fro skin from her arm. She ALMOST had to have plastic surgery!
NEVER USE BUNSEN BURNERS AND IF U DO, KEEP SAFE KIDS!!!! ;)

∙ 14y agoIt depends in what context you are using one. If you are doing careful experiments, taking all precautions, then they are perfectly safe. However, if the flame comes into contact with anything flammable, anything that can be damaged by heat, or any certain types of gas, then the result of this can be harmful.
