    Many years ago, I went to a plant manufacturing cooking oil. We were installing new fatty acid deodorizers. Damn, they needed them.

    Pulp and paper plants are pretty nasty; and food processing plants with wet/rotting grains are vile. I used to get highly amused by auditors puking. Raw sewage generally smells better - lol.

    I had a pilonidal cyst once, the most painful thing I ever experienced, also the one who smelled the worst when it popped, according to a doctor it smells exactly like a corpse

    The body odor of a friend who got out of bed when I was crashing at his house. I wanted to throw up on the spot, it was awful. I’m not sure what it was, but it smelled like he hadn’t showered in months but he didn’t smell like that the previous day.

      He probably hasn’t changed his sheets, so the surprising amount of swear you she in bed, along with the considerable amount of dead skin, bacteria, hair, and skin oils are causing seriously bad BO.

      There’s a reason why I have a waterproof bed protector. Wash the sheets ever week or two weeks, wash the bed protector every couple. Your bed won’t smell musty or get bad dust mites that way.

        That’s what I thought, but they honestly didn’t smell bad at all. I remember they were odorless which really threw me for a loop. I wonder if he had some unknown condition or shat himself while asleep or something. But I’ll never know because we stopped being friends for other reasons. *sad noises*

            This was a few years ago so my smell memory is shaky, but I think it was body odor? The thing is he got up so fast and rushed to the bathroom so it may have been something else, or maybe it was from the embarrassment

            Meanwhile, I was trying no to make noise while gagging the ha hardest I’ve ever gagged in my life lol

    Human feces/raw sewage in a stagnant, humid, concrete structure with poor circulation and no means of escape.

    Also my dad has this little puss hole on his back that you can perpetually squeeze the most foul smelling stuff out of. It was a family event to squeeze in wonder.

    A rabbit necropsy that the vet did while I was on shift. I’ve been around numerous dog necropsies, but that was my first rabbit.

    I almost went home, the smell was so horrific. Smells don’t usually make me vomit, but that one did.

    Never again, I hope.

      Was it because of whatever killed the rabbit or does dead rabbit just stink? I’ve eaten the meat before and I know it’s a bit gamey, but I wasn’t involved in the prep of the uncooked meat. I figured as a herbivore it wouldn’t be that stinky?

        It just stinks, and I’m not sure why that is. The vet said that they always have an awful smell.

        In comparison, I didn’t even notice when we’d do a necropolis on a dog or a cat. It’s that bad

          Given they’re poo factories, I wonder if the rapid processing of food means that their organs and stomach acid etc is more hard core?

            Maybe? I was just a receptionist, so I don’t know much about it, but that sounds legitimate enough to me, so let’s go with it.

    Childbirth. It’s been three times now, and it’s so bad. Worse that Boy Scout summercamp latrines. Worse than when a dog farts after eating people food. Worse than a septic tank. Worse than opening a fridge left unplugged and full of food for a month.

    I’ve smelled all these horrible things and more, and childbirth is the worst.
