Joe\u2019s insect-repelling farts are famous around town, and people know that whenever he is around, mosquitoes magically vanish. Some say that the man\u2019s farts have evolved to fight mosquitoes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is known all over the city as the man who can kill mosquitoes with his farts,\u201d local barber James Yoweri told\u00a0Talk of Najia. \u201cWhen Joe is around we all know that mosquitoes will vanish. He is respectful of people around him and will only fart when there are mosquitoes around which bring malaria. His farts gets rid of this disease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI heard about Joe\u2019s gift and I took him in to help mop out the mosquitoes infesting our surroundings,\u201d a local chief said. \u201cHe respectfully drops these bloomers and it helped eradicate the insects. He does his thing and they drop \u2013 like flies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rwamirama, who does odd jobs for a living, went as far as to claim that his farts are strong enough to knock out insects in a six mile radius, which would make his fallout zone larger than that of the atomic bomb which destroyed Hiroshima in 1945.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI 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,\u201d Joe insists.<\/p>\n<p>The Ugandan man now dreams of having his insect-killing farts turned into a commercially-available repellent. \u201cImagine buying a Raid can with my face on it!\u201d he told reporters. However, the companies he claims already contacted him about it have yet to confirm his statements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Ugandan man whose farts can allegedly kill mosquitoes six meters away claims to have been offered deals by companies looking to turn his flatulence into commercial insect repellent.
