Are the intestinal gases inflammable?
” ANSWER: Yes, the anal-gases we vent are indeed highly flammable, so I wouldn’t recommend demonstrating it to your friends unless you have a fire extinguisher available. For more information on this interesting subject see Microbes in the News. One problem with antibiotics taken by mouth is that they upset the natural microbial balance and allow unusual microbes to establish them selves in our bowel. This often results in intestinal problems (e.g. excess gas and diarrhea) until the original mix of microbes is again established.
