Are lit candles really an effective way of cleansing the air from farts?

Is part of the fart, poop particles, that are sucked into the nose?

My daughter and he friends did a dumb thing. When a friend did a fart, they held a lighter to her butt and it was like a flamer thrower. Scary, huh?

LOL I am a pro in that field haha Just always make sure to keep your cotton undies on to prevent burns!

Just to add to what Qadgop the Mercotan has pointed out:

*from The facts of flatulence*
The reason this is important is that different bacteria digest different kinds of carbohydrates. Some make more methane; others
help hydrogen to combine with sulfur (from other foods or water) to make hydrogen sulfide. According to Levitt and Bond,
only about one-third of us excrete CH4, a capability that, again, seems to depend on the bacteria floating around us at birth.
There’s an easy way to determine whether you produce methane or not: if you do, your stools will float. This is because CH4 gets trapped in the stool, making it less dense than water. Better the relatively odorless methane, however, than
hydrogen-sulfide, which has the unavoidable odor of rotten eggs. “The only notable fact about methane is that it burns with a
blue flame,” says Van Thiel, "and that’s why crazy college kids who like to, uh, ignite their flatus have to be methane producers.
And those who make more methane are more like flamethrowers than those who don’t."

LOL How ironic…kill sulfur with sulfur!
