No shit Sherlock, they protect everyone else but the person wearing it, that's the point.

...about as well as pants protect others from your farts.

The Smell of Farts

Flatus often stinks! There are several chemicals that contribute to the smell of farts:

- skatole (a by-product of meat digestion)
- indole (a by-product of meat digestion)
- methanethiol (a sulfur compound)
- dimethyl sulfide (a sulfur compound)
- hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg odor, flammable)
- volatile amines
- short-chain fatty acids
- feces (if present in the rectum)
- bacteria

Some of these happen to be bigger than viruses, don't you know.

Everything works perfectly in theory. In practice, not so much.
