His video on farts makes the buzz
In his video, the doctor explains that it is better not to sleep naked because a human experiences flatulence between 15 and 25 times a day, including at night. "A scientific study has shown that with each gas is also sprayed a very small quantity of fecal matter", explains Anthony Youn. By wearing pants, briefs or pajama bottoms, microscopic projections of fecal matter are prevented from passing through. "For the well-being of your bed partner, please sleep with your underwear on."

Although the study to which he refers has not been found, it is true that other studies have already been done on the subject. A medical report published in the British Medical Journal in 2001 explores the question of whether an operating theater can be considered sterile when a fart is released inside. Another test conducted by Dr. Karl Krszelnicki came to the conclusion that a person who farted on a surface while keeping their underwear on left no trace. When he reproduced the fart without wearing his underwear, bacteria were found on the surface, which the next day grew.
