Here’s Why Other People’s Farts Smell Way Worse Than Your Own

So maybe you
were too embarrassed to ask or you have been
wondering why your fart is so much less offensive
than that of other people. Or you realize that you
can withstand your own fart but can't cope with
that of other people. It turns out that science has
various explanations for this.
For starters, "the more familiar you are with
something, whether it be a song, picture, or
even a smell, the more likely you are to
prefer it," series co-creator Mitchell Moffitt
says in the video, "and because the bacterial
population in your body producing these
smells is completely unique from every
other individual, our farts truly have a one-
of-a-kind brand that your nose can
differentiate."
And then there's the fact that others' farts
can actually make you sick.
"There are many reported cases of farts
spreading Streptococcus pyogenes, a
pathogen that can cause tonsillitis, scarlet
fever, heart disease, and even flesh-eating
disease," Moffitt says in the video. "The
pathogen is expelled as fecal matter or poop
particles in the air… Of course, this was a
major concern for our ancestors who ran
around unclad, but for us underwear or
pant-wearing folks, farts don't pose a real
threat."
You're welcome.
