A stinky situation

I have an English Bulldog. He’s sweet, loyal, well-behaved… everything you could want a dog to be. But he has one major flaw: he’s a bit, well, gassy. Other than the occasional grossed out moment, I’ve never thought too much about it. But now researchers are saying that animal gas can actually cling to dust particles in the air. At least that’s the case with farm animals.

Scientists studied dust samples taken from housing structures for cattle, pigs, and chickens. They found that animal gas had bonded with the dust. Obviously, the floating particles can create a stinky situation, but the problem goes further than that. The gas/dust

combo platters can get trapped in the throat or lungs and potentially cause respiratory problems.

Let’s all say it together now…. EEEEW!
