I confess my first thought was mixing oxygen in a methane environment inside the body isn't ideal.

And this isn't a joke..... for example, cyclopropane is an excellent anaesthetic gas but no longer used due to the explosion risk. I believe (?) there was a case of a patients throat catching fire on the operating table.
