A member asked:
Does farting spread any disease like sneezing n coughing do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally no.: But there have been fairly good epidemiologic studies showing some organisms which can be spread in this fashion, but this is generally an exception rather than a rule. Also very difficult to document accurately. Have you ever tried to catch a fart?
