Well, no.
However, it is a fact that they are expelling small quantities of faeces onto their underwear.
The underwear would however catch all this (unless you were wearing lace, possibly) - so innocent bystanders are unlikely to be victims, except from the smell of course!
Incidentally, this is a very good reason not to wear thongs, as it has been shown that you end up with an awful lot more poo on them standard underwear... :-P

An experiment has been done - microbiologists asked schoolchildren to fart over a petri dish containing agar (culture medium). The kids farted thru their school clothes - so dont panic that there was untoward experimental conditions. They incubated these petri dishes and discovered E Coli amongst other bacterial nasties growing there. So the answer is that yes we breathe in faecal particles and bacteria that colonise our bowel. Yum!

When somebody "poots" or farts, this is not the same action is "pooing" or defecating. Also, the end result is of different composition. Farting is caused by the breakdown of food products by bacteria in your digestive system and contains organic gases. "Poo" is a composite of solid indigestible products with water removed and contains some digestive flora. So I would have to say that you are breathing in poot particles, and not the poo.

The pooh particles don't escape their clothing I'm sure, but the methane gas that is formed by microbes in the rectum through anaerobic respiration does, and yes you are breathing that in.

I wouldnt have though it would escape out of the farter's undies,
but if you were in bed with a naked man and he farts then thinks it would be hilarious to "dutch oven" you (pulls quilt over your head so you are trapped under covers with said fart) then GOD HELP YOU!!!

Hahahaha LMAO well let me say this is quite an inquiry.
You don't breath ¨pooh¨ particles, what you do breath in is methane, CO2,and nitric sulfate= gas has particles.
so you do breath in methane, CO2, and nitric sulfate particles.
not pooh.
this was wonderful please mail me any more questions like these LMAO

what a great question!
reminds me of the time i went through to the warehouse at work to talk to one of the guys who works in there; whilst stood next to him I asked him if he'd just eaten an egg sandwich cos that's what it smelt like - he went bright red and told me that he'd just farted and I'd inhaled his guff.....
ah we laughed about it for hours..... perhaps you had to be there....
do not under estimate the power of a poo particle
