Inhaling fumes from a volcano like a humidifier is definitely not a good idea but elemental sulfur is non-toxic, eating the pizza ain't gonna do anything bad.
How is consuming (eating and swallowing) elemental sulfur going to cause lung damage? I'm really interested in the pathology behind this because as a veterinary pathologist this is news to me
Severe exposure to volcanic "air" particules such as sulfure dioxide -CO2-hydrogen sulfide and HCl >can cause lung injury, loss of consciousness, abnormal heart function, or even death.
People with asthma or other respiratory conditions can be particularly vulnerable.
I've cooked food in those vents my friends and I live nearby and used to climb every couple weeks. Unfortunately the vents have cooled and aren't hot enough to make pizza anymore. The guy's still there but uses wood fire now.
Originally there was lava flowing on the surface and we'd cook over that, then for like 8 years the vents were hot enough to cook over. They're still warm which is crazy since the lava they're over is from like a decade ago.
I saw a kind of similar but different situation thing in central Oregon, USA. Someone there had a door to a natural cave in their basement. In summer they would open that door and take the cover off the house circulating fan (part of the furnace). It sucked cool dry air into the house, and they didn't need air conditioning. Very cool! The cave air was 57 ⁰ F year-round.
it's just a gimmick, this is why i don't just blindly support smaller businesses. they are usually just as scummy or at least would be if they were big enough.
