    Thioacetone is something that I've been wanting to make for a while, and now, I finally get to experience its horror. Will it be as horrendously stinky as it is claimed to be? Will it make me pass out and vomit?

    I think the reason that Nile wasn’t as phased by the smell as the camera man is because he’s already really used to smelling foul odors. As he mentioned in the intro, he’s made a lot of incredibly stinky substances over the years, and just before smelling the thioacetone he had already caught a massive whiff of the trithioacetone that had gotten on his glove. Thus, he’d more or less had developed a tolerance, similar to how people who eat spicy foods develop a spice tolerance.

    Have worked in Occupational medicine, and not surprised that people had different reactions, or that a sudden strong smell could cause vomiting or a panic. Some people are very sensitive to chemical smells, and we would get reports along the lines that 5 people went to the ER (and were fine) in a workplace if the cleaners used a different cleaning solution with a new smell, even though harmless.
    Not surprisingly, when some people smell strong chemicals that are irritating, they believe they may be poisoned, which causes them to panic, which causes them to have more symptoms, then they panic more, etc. Then add in seeing another person feeling affected too, and it happens.

    • @BetaDude40
      @BetaDude40 Місяць тому +2

      Humans seem to have evolved the ability to become sick by just observing someone else who is sick. It's why watching someone throw up makes you want to throw up, there's a chance that the whole community could have been poisoned. Of course, that kind of sympathetic reaction is a double-edged sword, but it must have worked for us to be alive to experience it!

    • @raifthemad
      @raifthemad 26 днів тому +3

      It might not be panic. Just a very strong sense of smell. I'm always first to notice, if something in the fridge has gone bad. I can't stand spicy foods or anything rancid. What to most people smells slightly off and tastes fine, to me is several magnitudes worse. I have, after tasting a duck, that was shot out of season, and might have smelled a bit muddy to the rest of the family, actually washed my mouth out with a bar of soap. I've never even liked balloons, because they smell awful.

      He reminds me of a chemistry teacher sub we had at school, who'd destroyed most of his sense of smell. It was worryingly easy to egg him on to use *way* too much ingredients. He also gave us (7th graders) any chemical we wanted to take home, he didn't gaf. Just wanted to do his weird expetiments.
      He once painted the whole classroom and some of the slower students purple with iodine gas and got a talking to from the principal. The following week we heard a muffled boom from the direction of the class. No one was allowed in to that wing of the building and chemistry classes were canceled for a month. We didn't see him after that.

    I once worked in a chemical plant that made acrylic acid and downstream products of ethyl acrylate and butyl acrylate. The odor was so strong that we had to enclose the entire process pump system in a vacuum enclosure. We burned all of the air and water from the unit at 1500 F. The chemicals desensitized the operators in the unit. They tended to absorb into leather and we carried it out in our belts and wallets. I could empty a checkout lane in the grocery. Married people had to change clothes in the garage and bathe before entering their homes.

      Also, Long Covid is a bitch, speaking from experience. I can no longer smell smoke, detect the acridness of alcohol, or (god help me) my cat's litter box. I can no longer trust my nose to tell me if there's something burning, if that glass on the counter is vodka or water, or if the litter is starting to stink. That last one just means being MORE clean, but the other two are really friggin disturbing.
      If Nile's suffering from LC, it might drastically change how he's gotta do things in the lab. He might not be able to trust his nose for scents that provide basic, practical input for every day work there.

      @VoIcanoman Рік тому +36

      In small quantities, H2S is VERY detectable (some sources cite 8 ppb as the odour threshold), but in higher concentrations (above 100 ppm), it has an anaesthetic effect on the olfactory system, which is worrisome because at just a bit higher levels than those at which anosmia is induced (500+ ppm), it can be fatal. My high school chemistry teacher put it this way - when you can smell H2S, you're fine...it's when you CAN'T smell it that you're in trouble. So that would suggest that nose-blindness, as it were, is a temporary thing in this case (I know of no research that shows permanence, although exposure to H2S can have other permanent neurological effects), only occurring when there is a serious failure of safety protocols to protect against exposure to high concentrations of H2S.
      My own experience bears this out. I also worked a lot with H2S in my research days, doing environmental chemistry. Every once in awhile I'd run a process called CRS (chromium-reducible sulphur), wherein chromium (III) chloride hexahydrate (a green chemical) is reduced to chromium (II) chloride tetrahydrate (blue) in a mercury-amalgamated zinc column, and then the chromium (II) is used (with the application of heat) to react with sulphur minerals (particularly pyrite...I was using sediment samples and trying to find the sulphide mineral content therein), resulting in the evolution of H2S gas, which is collected in NaOH traps. The whole system is continuously flushed with nitrogen, to drive the evolved H2S from sealed flasks into the hydroxide traps, and then when the reaction is done, a spectrophotometric technique (Cline's reagent) is used to measure the concentration of sulphide in the trap. A little stoichiometry, and you can calculate how much sulphide minerals (or pyrite-equivalent thereof) were in your sample. When doing this procedure, most of the H2S gets trapped, but because the odour threshold is so low, even a little bit escaping will be noticed. I never became less sensitive to the smell though, even though I rarely ran the reaction in a fume hood, so I was getting exposed to extremely low levels of H2S on a regular basis.

One turkey had been left in the freezer... but someone had moved the freezer and evidently the plug had come out of the wall... that meant the power had been disconnected for up to eight months. Someone opened the lid, and well, I was about 100 feet away. Never smelled anything worse in my life!
