breating in toxic fumes -?
If I breath(for years), the fumes of ones farts will it affect my health in the long run?
. Smells BAD, and jusy wondering. BECAUSE:
There is someone i hang around with for years now almost every time he farts it is so bad - once he farted near the back of a "BENIX" store, and walked past me without a word, a few minutes later i knew why, and then i noticed that the manager had opened BOTH of the front doors and propped to stay open to air the place out. ( i also noticed that all the customers had also gone to get fresh air)
So I know that doctors warn people about the harmful affects of chemical fumes and such in factories - does is also apply in this case?

Chemical fumes?? :D ..the gases produced in flatus or fart are hydrogen gas, nitrogen, methane, carbon dioxide and dimethyl sulfide....none of these are toxic because they are released only in very small quantities in fart so there's no risk of respiratory disease... :)
The fumes from factories are very toxic even in very small quantities.

Back during the black death days they thought if it smelt bad it was bad but if it smelt good it was good. So if that is the case yes you will die.
