šŸ¤¢ A column writer took the time and went down the rabbit (butt) hole to count how many farts can kill. The writer found out that even wearing a mask, around 605 farts can kill a person. But not because farts are stinky, but because itā€™s suffocating.

šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø Nitrogen, methane and CO2 is mainly what your average fart contains. These are all choking air, in case you didnā€™t know. Once you suck too much of these in your lungs, you wonā€™t be able to breathe.

šŸ”« How much is too much? Again, around 605 farts is lethal. If you have a target that you want to put in your gas chamber, the amount might not be crazy enough. I suggest taking some protein powder. For those of you who donā€™t know, protein scoots right down to your colon, which results in your body producing hydrogen sulfide gas. (aka that sulfur-ry, rotten egg smell)
