The worst smell

Unfortunately the stuff I smelt was pure Analytical Reagent stuff, spew!! It's highly toxic BTW!

I used to be an analytical chemist. What about DMF? It's a slow, sickly feeling that creeps up on you. Didn't make me gag though.

May be wrong 'un. I can't actually remember but there is one of the aldehydes that truly truly puke making.
 
not allowed to take it on the tube in Singapore,why did anyone have a bite of it in the first place??? and what a surprise they had when they did!!!

I was a coastguard for 15 yrs, one time we had a call to a cave where a visitor reported a bad smell but too dark to see, it was suspected a dead seal had been washed in and rotting but no, it was a man who had been living rough in there and died of hypothermia, he had been there for a few months, the sea had come in and the body was floating and starting to come apart so we had to collect all the bits and put them in a bag, it was my worst call out and the smell I will never forget.

Holy **** - and sometimes I think I have a bad day!!!!!!


Anyway I have 2 bad smells:
1. Snake ****
2. The contents of a dog's anal glands (ocassionally they needed expressing when my dog was a pup - Christ it nearly made me sick :shock: )
 
The smell of peanuts frying and getting burnt is very potent and sickly smelling for me, also the smell of merconium thankfully long in the past. :wink:
