If bad smell could've got you sick, how would you avoid bad smells?

[Anonymous]

If it was normal to get sick from smelling in bad smells, all of them, how would you avoid stank sickness?😂

[SueShe]

I get sick from smelling "good" smells or what people would consider good smells. I don't have issues with bad smells unless they contain some kind of chemicals that are potentially harmful for your health such as detergents, acids or even drugs.

I have an issue with perfumes that make me feel sick instantly. I am very sensitive to excessive spraying of perfumes and colognes. A discreet spraying is fine but I just can't stand those that bathe in them and I avoid going through the perfume section of department stores. I have to pinch my nose or hold my breath so as not to get any nausea.

Interesting lol.

In Medical Examiner work you have to deal with bad smells when working on a decomposed corpse. The worst thing you can do is go in with an empty stomach. There is no way to stop from swallowing the saliva in you mouth periodically. That is where the problem lies because you breathe in the smells, Those smells saturate the saliva, which you swallow on reflex. If you eat before you begin the case, the saliva is diluted with normal food so not so bad, if your stomach is empty there is no dilution factor. So you end up with a belly full of putrid saliva which will cause you to hurl. In 30 years I hurled once and stopped a purge once. I have a pretty strong stomach now.

Youd be fucked 😂

Morticians used a compound call San Veno to block bad smells, others used Vicks. In the distant past MEs used to smoke cigars during cases.

Have trained canaries fly around your proximity. When they drop dead avoid that direction. 🤓

[Asker]

Good calculations lol

[Dongie]

Yep.

Cuz of my job I’ve smelled all sorts of horrible scents I have nasal defusers they come with different nice smells that can mask waterver’a around …they look like a septum piercing and so that’s how I avoid bad smells lol but they’re expensive 🥲

[Asker]

How much are they it seems like you chilling from the bad smells, are these things disposable or reusable? 🤔

[lyrem04]

Yes they’re reusable up to 30 times they said but I just keep reusing it and it works fine, u just have to always put essential oil of whichever scent u want in the packet when u take it off so that u can reuse later

[lyrem04]

I got the bundle on Amazon it’s 30 some can dollars it comes with 5 so I find it economical

[Asker]

That's actually pretty cool but aren't the essential oils bad to breathe in mostly from so up close? Or are they specific made and designed to be breathed in this way?

[lyrem04]

I think it’s safe it comes with the oils but they’re the regular ones I think only wear the diffuser only when uk ur gonna be around bad smells or when u eel something unpleasant.. I would never wear it all day it would give me a headache

[Asker]

So it's mostly for less than an hour per use type of thing, in that case I guess any effects it does have is most likely minimal.

[lyrem04]

Yea like when In a room where I have to be around smelly stuff I put them on and take them off in my scrub it’s
very convenient

[Asker]

Sounds convenient, I didn't even know something like that existed, sounds useful for many jobs tbh mostly those that involve sewage

[lyrem04]

Oh yikes yup definitely

[Booboolove69]

I’d get the hell out of there
Away from the stank 🤣

[Asker]

Smart thinking 😂

One time I bought a lip balm from Essence that made my stomach hurt. I applied it on my lips then realized it smelled bad like chemicals. It made me get an upset stomach. I wanted to barf. I left a bad review.

[Asker]

How does that even happen, it effected your stomach? 🤔

[PrettyCrumblBb]

The smell mad my stomach ache. I wanted to barf because it smelled so bad.

[Asker]

Oh so it was just the bad smell that made you wanna barf 😂

[Anonymous]
