A woman taking a mud bath was left horrified after a volcanic bubble popped behind her making it look as though she'd let out a 'big fart'. Ruchama Dargenson, 26, was taking a dip inside Colombia's dormant volcano Totumo when a bubble of volcanic gas burst.
The moment, captured on video, shows Ruchama posing and suddenly looking horrified when a large bubble appears - just behind her. Ruchama, a quality assurance analyst, said: "Basically, because it's a volcano there are gas bubbles coming up.
"It framed me but thankfully no one thought it was a fart." Ruchama was on holiday celebrating her birthday with her sister Kathiana Dargenson, 25, and 15 of their friends when the incident happened. The footage quickly went viral and Ruchama was inundated with messages from friends who had seen the funny TikTok online.

One comment read: "Do y'all realize how powerful that fart had to be?" Another said: "That was a big one." Ruchama has taken the video's virality with good humour and even appreciates being able to make others laugh.

Ruchama, who is from Orlando, Florida, USA, said: "It's kind of nerve-wracking seeing it go so viral, but not in a bad way. It's exciting. "Comments are going to be rude. It's the internet but it's funny. It's a funny thing that happened.
"I've been sent the video six or seven times by friends who received it from other people. It's not something to take seriously. I'm just glad me and Kathiana could make people laugh." It comes after a dog owner spent £140 at the vets just to find out her dramatic dog was holding in farts. Owner Kelly Lanier took her maltipoo Bentley to the vets after he started missing meals - something which he has never done before.
Kelly, from Atlanta, America, told The Mirror: "I was going about my day, and I noticed he had been pretty lethargic and not eating much for a few days."He has eaten things he wasn't supposed to in the past, so I worried he had gotten into something.
"I took him to the vet and asked them to do some imaging to see if there was a blockage or a foreign object or something. Then they brought him back out and said 'Well there is a blockage but it's a gas bubble, so it seems he's just holding in a fart'."
Unable to stop her laughter, Kelly was relieved there was nothing seriously wrong with her dramatic dog. She added: "We all got a good laugh out of it and luckily he was feeling better within a day or two. "I didn't hear him fart whenever it did happen so he must have done it while I was asleep or something."
Bentley, who also responds to Bean, has been a 'little character' since he was just 10 weeks old. He has been described as a "very silly and mischievous" dog who has a "flair for drama". "This was all very on-brand for him," added Kelly. "He sleeps right next to me and sometimes he farts in the night and it smells so bad I wake up from REM sleep. He's all about using farts for tactical purposes."
