Got high blood pressure? Sniff farts...

The Stink in Farts Controls Blood Pressure - Yahoo! News

Okay, maybe not but there are still some really odd connections to our biology.

Hydrogen sulfide is weird stuff. 3-4 years ago it was shown to put mice into hibernation, but not lower their blood pressure.

For the rest of us it sounds like pickled eggs and homebrew might help us live longer. Or maybe it will just seem like it because we'll be living alone.

No sir, I'm not sniffing your farts for fun...I have high blood pressure.

Ok, yeah that's pretty gross. I remember a camp counselor once telling a group of kids around a fire that "Admit it, you all want to smell other peoples farts". Even then, I thought {what a freak}. :fro:

I heard a similar story on Oprah many years ago.

The scenario went like this: Given only 6 months to live what would you do?

A man answered that he would immediately move his mother-in-law in with him and his wife. It wouldn't prolong his life any, but it would certainly feel like it...

I think I'm going to stick to what my doc prescribes....

Don't get so angry babe, Yahoo said that dutch ovens are healthy...

I hate to think of what my blood pressure would be if I didn't fart so much...I might just be dead otherwise
