      I don’t believe in spontaneous human combustion. It hasn’t been proven… If it does happen, it’s likely to be a build up of methane caused to ignite via a spark. So I guess if you don’t light your farts you’ll be safe….

      I don’t think I believe in spontaneous human combustion! I am sure in all the reported cases, there have been other causes so it’s not actually spontaneous!
