Worst Smell Ever

[merryman]

When I was new to the legal profession, our firm represented a tallo/rendering plant. That was fine till they got into a land dispute and another lawyer and I got elected to go out to look the the place over. The owner was a really likable guy, and insisted that we tour the plant. That was kind of tough----got to see dead animals at every stage of recycling, naturally some were pretty ripe.

The bad part was after the tour, we went into the office to talk----of course the smell went with us. After awhile, the guys wife brought in some snacks; cheese and sausage! I came close to losing my breakfast.

bad foot odor

Ok, I have to tell this one:



Worked for an Ambulance company and responded to a 'man in distress' and found the house to be locked and vacant looking. Knocked on the door hard, no response. Went around back and knocked on windows and heard a man yelling, "just kick the door in". So, mule kicked the door and was met with a gut wrenching odor that tipped the vomit scale. I immidiately puked on his carpet and stumbled outside for fresh air. My partner, beckoned me to get back in there and check it out and being the rookie at the time, I did. The house was real dusty and the furniture covered with white sheets, all shades drawn. I heard the patient in the back down the hallway and fought off the urge to pass out from the stench as I made my way slowly down the hallway. I finaly entered the back bedroom and saw a huge man, probably 500+ lbs lying on the bed in his own excrement (for weeks), Cardboard pizza boxes taped around his feet, a pile of pizza boxes and soda cups piled up under the window next to his bed. I asked him why he had pizza boxes taped around his feet and he told me that it was to 'keep the flys off of them'. On further inspection, through blurred vision from the retched costic fumes coming from this hell hole of a room, I found that there were two piles of wiggling maggots under each foot which was hanging over the end of the bed. The pizza boxes fixed to his feet were keeping the gangrenous flesh from falling off. He apperently had some kind of freakin bad foot infections (no doubt from diabetes), and was too stubborn to get it checked out. In the end, we rolled him up in a tarp that the fire dept brought, took him outside and loaded him into the ambulance on the floor because the gurney was too small. As it turned out, It was my turn to tech the call. I duck-taped the back doors open, instructed by partner to drive quickly to the hospital(after she was done yacking) and try not to accellerate from stops too quickly as we might loose our cargo. The hospital cleaned him up and gave us hell for not hosing him down on scene. I was afraid that we might just blow off a leg or something if the pressure was too high.



Happy visuals, Steve.

Years back, I had a tour of the P&G soap/detergent plant in Qunicy, MA. While the output side of the plant smelled nice, the input side was quite strong. And for years afterward, I could swear I still smelled it whenever I wore my wool jacket (that I had that day) in the rain.



Uncles' hog barns in summer were strong, but human waste stinks a *whole* lot worse.



Deliberately ran over a dead animal in the road. It looked a little swollen, and I *think* I heard a pop! as the front tire hit it, but there wasn't much of a thump, and there was some splatter on the road behind me. Fortunately I was moving fast enough so very little of the smell could get inside.



Skunk is strong, but it ain't so bad. ANd it's good for clearing the sinuses.



Chem teacher in HS used to enjoy, every spring, having his students mix up H2S (rotten egg). He would stink up the *whole* school for half a day.



One of the worst things I've smelled was me, when I had a bad case of food poisoning (a bad E-coli imbalance). After copious amount of solids, liquids and gases finished emanating from my behind, the bathroom was filled with a *very* strong, sickly-sweet, malodorous, stench. And my brother didn't have an exhaust fan. Sorry! But he did take me out to get some yogurt, which cured the ailment real quick. But after suffering for a week or more, I flat-out refused to 'pass gas' the entire time while driving home from Spokane to NE MA.



But none of these can stack up to the smell of burnt and/or rotting flesh, if my memory of getting myself with the soldering iron is correct.
