    100% better off not worrying what causes cancer BUT that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t stop try to actively prevent the odds of it happening like wearing sunscreen, using tick protection OFF Bug Spray (has 25% Deet) or grilling your food on a propane grill.

    Of course the obvious not smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol and avoiding ultra proccessed foods but in the US there’s at least one of the three in use at all times so… fart noise
