Daniel Crimmons from ONTARIO asks: Why do farts smell more in the shower? Response: Thanks for your question, Daniel. Our researchers were busting a gut when asked to find out why an air biscuit becomes unbearable in the shower. Here's what they discovered: according to Julie Thompson, chief information officer at The Guts UK Organization, underwear and trousers absorb a large part of the gas that's passed. When you fart in the shower, you're naked (presumably), so the gas immediately enters the surrounding atmosphere. The warm air may also be a factor as convection currents will cause the gas to rise straight to your nose. Thompson says that the smell is especially noticeable if you have a shower surrounded by a glass barrier. |
