Something that has been troubling me...

Why do farts smell worse in a hot bath?

Apparently, water vapor easily attaches to methane molecules by the
chlorine atom, or the sulfur released from bacteria, making the foul
smell more readily attach to the nostril lining, subsequently
sustaining the odor longer than in a dry climate. In addition, warm
vapors will cause any crusted mucus to soften and disengage, providing
more surface area within the sinuses.

Anyone have any other ideas?

    I heard that if you fart in the shower the smell clings to you all day, but you're the only one that can't smell it.
