How can I deal with underground gas pockets poisoning me and damaging me when I haven't got any infrastructure at all and I've literally just started my world an hour ago?

Edit: I should clarify that i'm on Monster version 1.0.9.

Bit crazy, but if it's in the way, you could just start a fire and explode it. On hard mode you can even do it with a torch.

I really hope I don't die too badly... thanks!
You in hardcore mode? If not, it's not TOO BADLY if you cause a intended explosion, which is what is going to happen. The catch 22 is you're in the blast. Get valuables far from the mine and prepare for unintended consequences.
 
Only three of the eight gases explode (H₂S (hydrogen sulfide), CH₄ (methane), and NUKE), though, so that doesn't always work. Putting water (and maybe some others that I don't know of) over a gas block destroys it, but since half of the gases are completely invisible (CO₂ (carbon dioxide), CH₄ (methane), NO₂ (nitrogen dioxide), and SO₂ (sulfur dioxide)), you probably won't be able to get all of the blocks.

Here's an infographic I made of the eight gases currently in Enviromine (as much as I could tell from the source code on Github because the wiki gives a 404)
