They are particles that came out of your ass. It’s not like you just magically smell fart when someone rips without something traveling from their butthole to your nose.
Edit: How in the world am I being downvoted for something that is unequivocally true. Mercaptans are particles. They come out of your ass.
Organic molecules aren’t dangerous or infectious in any way. They might have smells but they are chemically identical to other sources of the same particles.
If particles bother you, you are gonna have a hard time.
You’re getting downvoted because you’re trying to make a somewhat scientific argument about a thing that is completely a subjective feeling of disgust. It’s totally valid and honest to say you have that feeling, we all have irrational feelings about things. But many of our problems in the world come from people trying to write stories to explain their irrational feelings rather than shrugging and saying “It’s just how I feel, I know it doesn’t make sense.”
Yes and no.
What you are actually smelling are mercaptans, specifically methyl mercaptan (aka methanethiol), hydrogen sulfide, and a few other organic compounds.
