We interpret recent far-infrared observations of H II regions in terms of true absorption by internal dust of a significant fraction of the Lyman-continuum photons. We present approximate analytic expressions describing the effects of internal dust on the ionization structure of H II regions, and outline a procedure for deduting the properties of this dust from optical and infrared observations.
