I have a can of paint and it smells like rotten eggs. Trash it or the house might smell? Never knew of this.?

Question

wondering what made it smell/? Only one year old. I've had old paint before, but this is different. Any ideas?

Answer 1

All water based paint has qualities to it, including the base itself (water) so it can go bad and usually does if not kept in a proper place.
In Nevada I had a hard time keeping paint, I had to keep it in a cool spot, I've had paint that would gag a maggot.

Answer 2

Through it away. The smell is in the paint, not in the can. I made the mistake of using bad paint and it smelled for a long time.
