What is the worst smelling thing that you have ever smelt?

Answer 1

i work in a detox. we have a sobering unit here. (drunk tank) we get all kinds of people here. we do get a lot of people who are very frequent here. so consequently they don't get to shower a whole lot or take care of their hygiene. we had a guy who was brought in by the police. he had been so drunk he could not move. he had not showered in what seemed like months. probably was too. he had urinated on him self over and over so much. he had also pooped himself and was probably there for a long time. he wore boots and had no socks on. he had stinky complete rank smelling feet. (we have to take there shoes off, belts etc off. so i took his boots off. he had no socks on. his feet were so gross. his urine and feses had gone down inside his boots, along with the bad foot odor from no socks and no showeres. i almost threw up right there. i had to leave the room or i would of for sure. the worst thing i have ever smelt.

Answer 2

In a cold steel rolling mill they coat the steel with a mixture of low grade palm oil and beef fat.

This is pretty bad, even when fresh. However, they have big ventilation ducts in these steel mills, (and I mean big, they could easily fit your house inside). To suck off the overspray and smell.

Well all that smelly stuff runs through a big filter house the size of a big big barn. And there it collects in the bottom in layers many feet thick.
Where it begins to rot, and putrefy, like some giant dead animal. But they leave it for a year or two, so that it has a chance, to develop a smell, that nothing can stop. And that will give you nightmares just to think about.

Then every couple of years they find some really desperate bad and tough guys. Who will do anything for money . And they put them in the equivalent of underwater scuba diving suits. And they send them in there to dig it out.

You are not supposed to be able to smell it inside those air tank suits but this is not true. It permeates everything. and gets in your pores, and in your nose, and in your brain. And you Will never forget that smell as long as you live or wherever you go.

When you try to sleep, it is there keeping you awake, night after night. You will scrub your nose out, to try,and get rid of it. But that will not work, it is inside of you, and it is with you .........aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
P.S. This is a true story

Answer 3

a rotting cadaver body. It was really gross. We study those things until there is literally nothing left to study. The last time I had to take a class in which we used cadavers was when I was pregnant. Anyone who has been pregnant knows that your sense of smell is more acute than usual...I was taking a practical and had to look for the pins with numbers on them stuck into different parts of the body...the head was yellow, the feet were black and greasy looking..after I was done, I ran straight into the bathroom for a good puking...I'm sure unpreserved rotting bodies smell worse but thankfully, I haven't smelled that before.

Answer 6

Years ago when I was in the Marines I lived in Jacksonville, NC. Off one of the major highways, just on the side of the road was a dead bear. One day we pulled up next to it and unfortunately we had the windows down. I can't begin to tell you how bad it smelled and it was crawling with maggots!!!

Answer 7

aside from lindberger cheese, the worst smell ever is when you are trapped in the back of an ambulance with an 80 year old woman who can't stop vomitting. Talk about disgusting!

Answer 8

When I was in radiography school, I needed to do skull films and they just aren't done that much anymore. A tech took me along to the city coroner's office to do complete body films on two toddlers who had died in a fire (to check for prior abuse or other nonapparent injuries). I got my skull film competency done, but never will forget how those little children smelled.

We went to a bbq once and came home really late. My boyfriend took everything out of the car, at least he thought he did and forgot a cooler full of ground beef in there were talking 90 degree temps over night. The next day I went to get in the car to go out and I seriously lost it right there in the driveway!

Answer 10

A person who had died by electricution. The smell of burnt skin and hair. Similar to sulfer, but worse. I have smelled a dead mouse, in a rest home that was stuck in a duck at my job, that was rather sickening also.
