Why do farts smell bad, Please tell me!?!


Question: Why do farts smell bad, Please tell me!?
Why do farts smell bad? I heard it's the methane.

Answers:

Well... it comes out your butt so what do you expect it to smell like... flowers, perfume?

My brain



Farts contain nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide. These are created by the fermentation of undigested foods such as bean skins and veegtable fibre. The hydrogen sulfide and other compounds (mercaptan, butyric acid and carbonyl sulfide) make the released gases smell bad. Humans actually expel little methane compared to ruminants such as cows and sheep



Actually, farts don't smell nearly as bad if you keep a healthy diet. Methane is part of the reason--I'll leave you an article to read in the source-bar-thingy. Hope I (or the article, rather) helped!

Farts are made up of gases and bacteria left inside your stomach and intestines after digesting food. It's the bacteria and methane that make them stink.



Because it's the gas produces by bacteria breaking everything down.



Bingo. Methane gases are produced from your intestines breaking down your food.



Yes, it is the methane in the farts that has the smell.
