Yeah, I saw this story on my feed today so I decided that all of you needed to see it too.
You're welcome.
More from The Sun:
A WOMAN says she was left with a seven-year infection after her boyfriend farted in her face ...
She traced her symptoms back to a fateful night spent in a hotel room.
Christine was lying in bed recovering from [ankle] surgery when her boyfriend broke wind while he was changing in front of her.
The content creator claims she's been battling sinus infections in the seven years since.
After seven years of sinus infections, boyfriend long gone at this point, Christine went to the doctors because of the constant infections and sinus issues. And a culture swab revealed that -somehow- she had E. coli in her nose.
This is when Christine remembered the fateful moment when her boyfriend dropped trousers and let one rip in her face while she was laid up in bed after ankle surgery.
'I couldn't breathe,' Christine added, saying she'd never smelt gas so vile.
'There's not anything that even compares to that.'
And - I don't want to be graphic here - but to launch a gut bacteria like E. coli into a person's nose it had to be more than just wind.
Christine did explain that the fart was not intentional. He was unclothed and he was bending over to get into bed and it just happened. Nothing malicious.
She went on: 'I had just had ankle surgery that I was recovering from, so I imagine that my immune system was focused on healing that.
Unfortunately for Christine, the medical experts are against her claims on this one.
Professor Franklin Joseph, consultant physician, head of Dr Frank's Clinic, shared his thoughts on the clip.
He told Sun Health: 'While it certainly makes for an eye-catching TikTok, the idea of developing a sinus infection from someone passing gas is, scientifically speaking, extremely unlikely.'
E. coli lives in your intestines, but it isn't present in gas. It's much more likely that the bacteria was present on something contaminated that went up her nose.
One viewer pointed out that E.coli is a common cause of nosocomial sinusitis, which is sinusitis that develops in a hospital setting.
'The infections often occur after medical procedures like nasal intubation or nasogastric tubing,' they wrote, to which Christine replied: 'I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse.'
...
Doctors in the comments are pretty skeptical about the fart explanation, given how sinus infections, and even E. coli infections, are commonly picked up in hospitals during surgeries.
So hospital workers aren't washing their hands after touching poop, then they're stuffing tubes up people's noses?
This was a way funnier story when I thought it was the boyfriend!
