<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 767719, member: 15199&quot;]Hydrogen sulfide is readily produced by the action of an acid on &quot;-sulfide&quot;. Many foods such as onions, garlic, beer,irradiated&nbsp; meat...contains sulfides that could interact with the hydrochloric acid in your stomach to produce hydrogen sulfide, but the amount to be consumed would be extremely large. But ....</p><p><br /></p><p>Our intestinal tract contains bacteria which can breakdown passing food residue and produce hydrogen sulfide from normal sulfur containing amino acids. This gas can pass through the digestive tract and emit as flatulence, accounting for some of the odor and flammability of anal emitted gas. This is a much larger amount of gas than by ingested means.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as I know, no one has died from flatulence. Perhaps people around them think they will.</p><p><br /></p><p>Artists know there are some zinc sulfide containing paints one should not eat as they can also produce much larger amounts of H2S.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
