12 Shocking Reasons Why You Should Never Hold In A Fart

7.Body Can Reabsorb the Harmful Gases

When the gas stays in the stomach for a longer period of time, our body has no better option except to reabsorb it into the blood stream. Carrying harmful chemical compounds in the blood longer than usual time leads to several other health conditions. 

8.You May Exhale out a Fart

When a fart is reabsorbed into the bloodstream, lungs do the job of getting rid of harmful gases! Your lungs process out those gases and make them escape when you exhale. You can't feel it because 'sulfur' (the compound that makes farts stink) doesn't last long enough once it is mixed in the bloodstream. 

9.Intestinal Walls or Sphincters May Fail

In rare cases, where people have weak sphincters or intestinal walls, a strong build-up of gas may damage them. We can't really tell whether or not our digestive parts are strong enough until something terrible happens. So this is a definite risk.
