What are the symptoms of breathing fumes from human fecal fumes for long time?

Nausea is a possibility.Unless you're in some kind of restricted space where you're ALSO not getting enough oxygen, you're unlikely to contract any actual medical condition from this. it may smell bad, but the smell alone is actually not really that bad for you. Certain compounds that are present might be a bigger problem, but are not likely to be present in high enough concentrations to actually be a signficant medical concern. For example, hydrogen sulfide (which smells like rotten eggs) is a horrific stench, but if you can still smell it that's actually a sign you haven't reached the point where respiratory collapse is a real possibility; it anesthetizes your sense of smell at around 1/3 the concentration required to cause pulmonary edema.
