Are Microscopic Particles Of Fecal Matter Released When Someone Farts?
Hi Dr. Narasi, I was just in a heated debate over whether or not microscopic particles of fecal matter is released when someone passes gas. If so, does that fecal matter get trapped in the clothing after someone passes gas or is it released in the air. Please explain this for me. Thank you.

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
Small particle are released since farts cuase moving of feces which is atatched to colon mucosa. So this "force" is bit like small wind which can push feces particles forward and it can be trapped in clothes or go through this.
Wish you good health. Regards
