Okay I was walkin down the hall and this bug jumped out at me. It was huge and looked armor-plated and I smelled this funky stinky, almost old-lady perfume smell, it was horrible, burnt my nose hairs. I got some tissue, squished it and flushed it and it let out the smell again. I'm getting sick now, a few minutes later, I feel like I wanna puke. What the hell was that?

It is one of the predatory Stink Bugs probably Shield Bug from the Family Pentatomidae. Anyway, check out this link to know its exact identification: http://www.whatsthatbug.com/stink.html

Stink bugs will emit a pungent, bad-smelling liquid, whose rancid almond smell is due to cyanide compounds. As ou know, cyanide is highly toxic or a deadly poison which can be absorbed by the body through inhalation but the fact that you had it in a very little amount insufficient to cause major poison effects, the extent of its effects could include faintness, drowsiness, anxiety and excitement, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and sweating.

Though not officially acknowledged, it is believed and some had proven that glucose could help to counteract cyanide effect. So eating a piece of candy I believe will help you to relieve your mild symptoms.♥
