How could antibiotics killing bacteria in the large intestine cause vitamin loss and diarrhea?

The antibiotics kill large numbers of the intestine's normal bacteria, and the body tries to counteract the attack by flushing the intestines (diarrhoea). It becomes difficult for the intestines to absorb nutrients properly, and the body loses a lot of water. Once the antibiotics course ends, the surviving bacteria recover and start to multiply until the original balance is restored.

How do you fart in a jar and save for later on to smell?

The weirdness of the question is matched only by my nuttiness giving this enough thought to come up with an answer. Go figure. Sit in a tub and have some jars and lids handy. When moved by flatulatory inspiration, fill a jar with water from the bath allowing as little air to remain as possible. Hold the jar top down, and put it in place so that your puissant wind enters the jar, displacing water. You can produce one opus per jar, or you can keep the jar submerged or lidded so that is can contain the entire bath time symphony. I don't know if keeping your gas in jars with water will have any effect on potency; that is left for you to determine by experimentation. Be aware that gases collected this way will likely be flammable and could be a hazard if not handled carefully. This gives fresh new meaning to the term aromatherapy. Best of luck in your quest for miasmic bliss.

What causes irritation and soreness that comes and goes around rectal area on a 65 year old male?

There may be many causes, but one may be hook worms, especially if one has a dog. The infection passes from animal to human and can account for these symptoms. Have the animal checked, and if it is infected, see your physician. A possible cause for itching in the peri-rectal area (at any age) may be yeast infection. Limiting or eliminating eating bread may stop the itching. Our tolerances for a variety of behaviors and phenomena change with aging. Some people are fine with cat dander and then one day they go into anaphylactic shock the moment they come into contact with a cat. So too with food allergies. You can always go to dermatologist for an answer that might be definitive (or maybe not) or do some experimentation on your body when the symptoms aren't critical.

Does a tortise fart?

The farting depends on the species of turtles. The Madagascan Snapping Turtle is known to fart at 74 decibels. However, other turtles have been known to fart silently. But the smell is actually quite noticeable. Most farts come from aquatic turtles and not from tortoises. So the answer is tortoises do NOT fart but it is a possibility because they are closely related to the turtle, which actually farts.

Simply put, any animal with a digestive system (which includes tortoises) produces gases during digestion (the gas that you smell from farts is methane gas) and these gases can be released through the anal hole.
