A member asked:

Our sewer pipe is busted underneath our house and we smell it through our vents really bad, i have a 1 month old son is it harming his health ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible : The main smelly gas is hydrogen sulfide , which can cause symptoms like headache , nausea etc in adults . If it is for a short time , the effects can clear up quickly , but if it continues , and the baby is exposed to high levels of the gas , it can cause serious problems. Also , any contact with sewage can cause serious infections. It s advisable to have a plumber resolve the problem quickly.
