A woman said she landed in hospital and needed emergency surgery because she held in farts around her boyfriend for two years.
Cara Clarke, 19, was at work when she developed “extreme stomach pain” on Tuesday, March 29.
She was rushed to a hospital where she was diagnosed with appendicitis.
It turned out the condition can be triggered by blockages and pressure build-up. Cara believes her suppressed farts around her boyfriend and the subsequent pressure build-up is what led to her condition.
The barista, who has been with her 21-year-old boyfriend Kyle Duffy for two years, recalled he was “dying laughing” after finding her efforts not to fart in his presence left her needing surgery.
Cara vowed to just “let it out from now on”, after admitting she had no idea how dangerous holding in fart could be.
Cara, from Louth, Ireland, said: “I do hold in my farts but I didn’t think I would be in hospital over it.
