A man whose fart kills mosquitoes says boffins have launched a study into the chemical properties of his unique trouser toxin.
He says that no one in his village suffered from malaria because his powers knock out insects over a six-mile radius.
Joe Rwamirama, 48, from Kampala, Uganda claims that he has been hired by insect repellent companies to investigate the secret of his killer gas.
Local barber James Yoweri said: “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.
“He is respectful of people around him and will only fart when there are mosquitoes around which bring malaria. His farts get rid of this disease.”
A Local chief who knows Joe since childhood claims he took the man to live with him during the malaria season and no one nearby contracted the disease.
The chief said: “I heard about Joe’s gift and I took him in to help mop out the mosquitoes infesting our surroundings.”
“He respectfully drops these bloomers and it helped eradicate the insects. He does his thing and they drop – like flies.”
Joe said: “I eat ordinary food just like everyone else but no insect can lay a foot on me, not even a fly.
“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.”
Joe has a dream of marketing his gas and added: “Imagine buying a Raid can with my face on it!”
The claims of Joe’s fart helping to combat malaria and the two companies hired him were not identified so all the claims could not be verified.
