While reading the disinformation site’s review of Who Cut the Cheese: A Cultural History of the Fart, I came upon this factoid:
· Hitler was a chronic farter. To combat his constant breaking of wind, he took a quack cure that contained, among other things, strychnine and belladonna. For eight years, he ingested high amounts of these poisons, which very likely contributed to his irritability and dementia.
Is that true?
