When I smell a fart, are there ACTUALLY particles of poo in my nose?

Dr Flame says...

Thankfully, the answer to your question is... No!  The smell from farts actually comes from sulphur-containing compounds that are released by bacteria in your gut when you digest food.

Got a question?

If you have a question for Dr. Flame he'd love to hear it....
