I would imagine that there is a lot more methane gas in the bathroom than you would ever find in a wormbed.

Re:methane gas emission in a worm bin ? 4 Years, 4 Months ago Karma: 0  
I recently read an article (sorry can't remember where it was) that earthworms produce nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and being a greenhouse gas, is a concern for some, but the article seemed to stress the amounts produced shouldn't be an issue for people with green leanings. I guess this could explain why worm farmers seem like such happy people.

we have 2 bacteria in all over the world. aerobic & anaerobic. aerobic bacteria lives in oxigen and digest every thing natural. but anaerobic lives where that not have oxygen. anaerobic bacteria when digest things produces methan. but worms lives with oxygen and so with aerobic bacteria so don't produce methan. if they live without oxygen and so with anaerobic they die.
