Published on December 12, 2019, a bizarre story emerged about a man from Kampala, Uganda, who claims his farts can kill mosquitoes.
Joe Rwamirama, 48, has gained attention for his alleged ability to repel mosquitoes with his flatulence, which he claims can reach up to six meters away.
According to Rwamirama, he eats ordinary food like everyone else, but his farts are uniquely potent against mosquitoes.
Speaking to talkofnaija.com, Rwamirama said, 'I eat ordinary food just like everyone else but no insect can lay a foot on me, not even a fly.'
He also stated, 'I smell like a normal man and I bathe daily and my farts are just like everyone else, they are only dangerous to small insects and especially mosquitoes.'
Local barber James Yoweri corroborated Rwamirama's claim, saying, 'He is known all over the city as the man who can kill mosquitoes with his farts. When Joe is around we all know that mosquitoes will vanish.'
Rwamirama claims to be working with a manufacturing company to develop a new mosquito repellent, with the company allegedly paying him 'millions' for his services.
