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

ickplant@lemmy.world to You Should Know@lemmy.world – 80 points –

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.

I carry a lighter. Burn it a bit before you leave the bathroom and it will get rid of most of the smell. I prefer this to taking some sort of medication.

no, the gasses that make the smell are mostly flammable, having an open flame for a few seconds will generally reduce the concentration of these gasses to near unnoticeable levels

Just imagining their friend walking into the bathroom after they forget to unlock it, utterly shocked to find the toilet full of flaming turds
