YSK about bismuth subgallate, an "internal deodorant" that makes your stools and flatulence not smelly

Why YSK: there are times when you need to not be stinky. A multi-day outing with friends staying in one house comes to mind. Taking bismuth subgallate will make even your vilest poops and farts smell like absolutely nothing. In the US, it's FDA approved for that purpose and comes in chewable tablets.

Sorry, I have a hard time coming up with reasons why you should not be stinky in such a case. Do you have a toilet in the middle of the living room on outings? Otherwise who cares? Shit stinks, perfectly normal, absolutely no reason to hide that. People should stop being ashamed for bodily functions instead of medicating them away.

I'm gonna try and convince my roommates to take this for my own sanitys sake

If you're really gassy and don't want to crop dust everyone with horrible fart stank?
