What Causes Poop To Smell Like Burnt Matches

How not to cause such a bad smell in the bathroom?

This is really embarrassing to talk about, but I'm just curious. For some reason, a lot of the time when I poop, it stinks worse than I think it should. And I always end up leaving the bathroom smelling really bad; I seem to cause a worse smell than anyone else in my family and mom and brother make fun of me for it sometimes. What could be causing that? And how could I lessen it? Any help is appreciated...

Is it true that lighting a match eliminates the smell of poop or farts?

Correction: Lighting the match does not eliminate the odor that emanates after you have dropped the kids off at the pool -- it only masks the smell.Image Source: Your poop or mine?The bad odor in farts and feces is caused by a combination of compounds called volatile sulfur compounds (VSC), namely: hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan (methanethiol), dimethyl sulfide, and dimethyl disulfide. How does lighting a match mask the bad smell?It involves chemistry and a little bit of biology.Chemistry: You see, the head of the match contains sulfur. Now, when you light a match, this sulfur reacts with the oxygen present in air and creates sulfur dioxide, a highly pungent and colorless gas.Biology: The olfactory receptors in our bodies are very sensitive to sulfur dioxide. The gas confuses the olfactory receptors and has a numbing effect on them. So, when you light a match, it sort of overpowers your receptors, not letting you smell anything else for a short while. ConclusionLighting a match produces sulfur dioxide, which masks the odor of compounds in your farts and feces that make them smell bad. The smell-causing VSC are still present, but you just can't smell them over sulfur dioxide. Bonus: Mythbusters [Episode 48] did a show where they found that lighting a match did not consume or eliminate the smell-causing components of farts or feces. Instead, it just masked the smell of methyl mercaptan, which, as aforementioned, is one of the smelly gases in farts and feces.References: Flatulence

Is the smell of poop harmful?

Decomposition of poop can produce ammonia which is definitely toxic. If your eyes become irritated, you start coughing, or you have trouble breathing, ammonia may be the cause. Hydrogen sulfide and other sulphur containing compounds may smell like rotten eggs; these too can be produced by poop and are fairly toxic.This chart shows some other compounds you can get; it’s from The Chemistry of the Smell of Toilets & Human Waste. Skatole is often thought to have the characteristic poop odor but the other compounds listed in the chart definitely contribute.I am not aware of any studies of whether levels of any of these compounds ever gets high enough in a public restroom or a latrine to produce real harm.
