Woman Suffers Serious Infection from Boyfriend’s Fart
A woman reportedly developed a serious infection after accidentally inhaling her boyfriend’s fart.
A fart is the release of gas from the stomach or intestines through the anus. It’s a normal part of how the digestive system works.
When we eat, drink, or swallow air, gas builds up in the digestive tract. This gas is usually made up of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, and other gases. As the body digests food, especially certain types like beans, dairy, or high-fiber foods, more gas is produced. When the body needs to let that gas out, it comes out as a fart.
Back in 2016, Christine Connell was resting in bed when her boyfriend released gas while lying beside her. At first, they both laughed it off, thinking it was just a silly moment. But a few days later, Christine started to feel unwell.
Connell experienced nasal congestion, headaches, fever, and cold symptoms. As time passed, her condition worsened. The symptoms didn’t go away and became part of her daily struggles.
After suffering for a long time, she finally decided to see a doctor. Tests later showed that she had a bacterial infection in her sinus caused by Escherichia coli or E. coli, a bacteria that’s commonly found in the intestines, not the nose.
Experts believe the infection may have entered her body because her immune system was weak at the time. Though she took several rounds of medication, the infection kept coming back. Eventually, doctors suggested surgery to remove the affected tissue in her nasal area.
The incident reminds the public that unusual symptoms should not be ignored. Even something that starts as a joke could lead to serious health issues. She encouraged others to seek medical help early if they feel something is wrong, to avoid serious complications later on.
