In reply to
Just the thought of an "eggy fart" turns my stomach
Surely the most dangerous of farts are the silent but violent type. Why is that? Are they the ninja's of the fart world!!
Taken from the link in Sincs post elsewhere!!!
Why are stinky farts generally warmer and
quieter than regular farts?
Most fart gas
comes from swallowed air and consists largely of nitrogen and carbon dioxide,
the oxygen having been absorbed by the time it reaches the anal opening.
These gases are odorless, although they often pick up other (and more odiferous)
components on the way through the bowel. They emerge from the anus in fairly
large bubbles at body temperature. A person can often achieve a good sound
with these voluminous farts, but they are commonly (but not always!) mundane
with respect to odor, and don't feel particularly warm.
Another major
source of fart gas is bacterial action. Bacterial fermentation and digestion
processes produce heat as a byproduct as well as various pungent gases.
The resulting bubbles of gas tend to be small, hot, and concentrated with
stinky bacterial metabolic products. These emerge as the notorious, warm,
SBD (Silent-But-Deadly), often in amounts too small to produce a good sound,
but excelling in stench.
Hope that clears it up for ya!!!
