That Smelly Smell that Smells Smelly

[Oh_Gee]

Since we are all huge fans of C-diff and the smell of it, let me tell you a funny story.

I was working at a VA hospital in Madison, WI years ago and left a stool sample on the nurses station. It was liquid and looked like Campbell's beef & barley soup. After about ten minutes, I heard yelling. No... screaming! It sounded horrific, and reminded me of combat in Baghdad.

The old screwed-shut plastic cup exploded, covering the nurses station (computers, charts, a crockpot full of chili and a whole pizza) and several nurses with C-diff poo. They were so pissed off. I bet it still stinks over 15 years later.

NOT THE PIZZA AND CHILI!!!

But how could you tell it was in the chili? o.o

Tasted a bit off.

Liquified brains, hands down.
I worked in a MEs office for a bit before med school and got to smell all the corpse smells, which were many and impressive, and helped me get a good handle on my gag reflex. But the worst so far is cadaver brains where the formaldehyde didn't perfuse and you get soup when you open the skull. I'm a TA in lab and I almost vomit every time I have to help somebody with one of those.

put a spot of benzoin on your mask, works wonderfully if you like the benzoin smell. or iodine.

Chloroform in the mask is the only way to block all smells.
