One of Albert Einstein's discoveries was that matter and energy are the same basic stuff, and that we can turn matter into energy. The formula is e=mc2, so that the amount of energy can be calculated by multiplying the mass times the speed of light (represented by "c") squared. "c" is a very large number, and squaring it makes it enormous.

When matter and antimatter collide, they annihilate each other, turning their total mass into energy according to e=mc2.

If a speck of antimatter the size of a grain of sand were to hit the Earth, the resulting explosion would be bigger than the biggest H-bomb in the world.

When matter and antimatter collide, they annihilate each other, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of gamma rays. If a significant amount of antimatter were to come into contact with matter, it could result in a powerful explosion that could be harmful to humans if they were nearby. However, the likelihood of such an event is extremely low due to the rarity of antimatter in the universe.

It would take a considerable amount of antimatter to affect us, even if the collision occurred within Earth's vicinity. And this is unlikely because any accumulation would be interacting with the matter in space long before it got anywhere near us. The chance of having even a microscopic amount of antimatter within our solar system is on the order of less than 1 in a trillion. (Nothing to worry about.)

No matter. _____________ The masses of the matter and anti-matter will be totally converted into energy, in accordance with Einstein's "E = mc^2" law.

How hazardous can human fecus fumes be to your health?

Yes, human fecal matter is toxic. That does not mean that if you ate a spoonful it would kill you immediately. However our fecal matter is full of chemicals such that our bodies chose not to absorb. If it were suitable for promoting growth, cellular reproduction or repair, your body would use it.
