Chemical found in stink bombs and flatulence could help expectant mothers

The same chemical found in stink bombs and flatulence could help expectant mothers, it has been revealed.

Scientists at the University of Leicester are investigating how hydrogen sulphide - responsible for the foul smell of stink bombs - could play a critical role in the human reproductive system.

The chemical is also a toxic gas and used in chemical warfare but researchers have been looking at its possible beneficial effects in the body, especially for premature births.
