why do farts smell? even the not so smelly ones smell...?

Answer 1

so deaf people can enjoy them too.

Answer 2

The odor of farts comes from small amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans in the mixture. These compounds contain sulfur. Nitrogen-rich compounds such as skatole and indole also add to the stench of farts.

The more sulfur-rich your diet, the more sulfides and mercaptans will be produced by the bacteria in your guts, and the more your farts will stink.

Foods such as cauliflower, eggs and meat are notorious for producing smelly farts, whereas beans produce large amounts of not particularly stinky farts.

Answer 3

SO2 and H2S cause the smell not methane as commonly thought. Eating food high in fibre increases the frequency of farting if the body is not used to it but eating foods high in sulfer increases the smellyness of farts. If u want smelly farts eat flours of sulfer, availiable at any good chemist.

Answer 4

You have bacteria and smelly gases in your intestines. A fart is basically a precursor to a dump. What do you expect it to smell? Hee Hee

Answer 5

You should know what your farts smell like,every one is different.it nasty gases that store up in our system and come out as a fart i guess.but boy do people's fart stink.it all depends on what you eat.by the way this question doesn't belong in this category.
