Can human fart gas kill you?

Question

It could, yes. It's methane. I quote:
Methane in its gas form is an asphyxiant, which in high concentrations may displace the oxygen supply you need for breathing, especially in confined spaces. Decreased oxygen can cause suffocation and loss of consciousness. It can also cause headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, and loss of coordination

Morever, it's a greenhouse gas.

there are low levels of methane so it is flammable so enough methane could great an explosion

there is also fecal matter in a fart so enough fecal matter which is toxic and enough could make you sick and potentially be fatal

but a single human fart will not kill you

I’ve had some pretty lethal farts before. I think only a woman’s fart gas could kill you. Women have notably stronger farts than men.

Sure. If you were in an air tight container with only fart gas circulating you would die. At the concentrations of various gases you’d be in trouble very quickly. You’d be in an oxygen deficient environment with asphyxiants such as carbon dioxide and methane in high concentrations. Those gases are diluted in the fluid of a normal room with ventilation though.

Yes, if you light it. Farts are mainly methane, so they will burn.

If skunks can't kill you then I'm sure human farts won't do the trick either. :P
