    A bottle of blood I had for years. Kept at room temperature. Curiosity got the best of me and I sniffed. It was horrific. The worst thing I've ever smelled. And I'm no stranger to disease, dead bodies, and all sorts of things that come with both human and wildlife care and rescue.

    1:30 A friend of mine went to the doctor and they brought in a Labrador to sniff him. Turned out the lab indicated on cancer, but they wanted to make sure so they brought in a cat and the cat also indicated cancer.
    The doctor then handed him a $800 bill for the lab work and cat scan.

    So awesome! I was linked to here by Skepchick :) I will subscribe immediately!
    I think the worst thing I've smelled was the body odor of this obese elderly man who would often ride the bus at the same time I did (when I was in High School). I don't know what caused it, but he smelled bitingly acrid. I've never smelled anything like it anywhere but on a few overweight people. Have you by any chance encountered this? I am curious to know what could cause that particular smell.
    That was the worst smell, but the most interesting one I have experience with is dead horse smell :) Several years ago I spent three weeks volunteering at a wolf sanctuary in the mountains of Colorado (Mission:Wolf). Twice a week we would butcher donated horse carcasses to feed to the wolves. (All the horses were from local farmers and had to be put down due to age or injury, no healthy horses were ever killed) The dead horse smell would seep into our skin and we would all smell like dead horse for at least three days, even if we bathed. It was particularly strong around the cuticles of the fingers.

    This is true. Diabetics have that ketone smell as do people (not ketones but other metabolites) withdrawing from opiates. Also, Chickenpox has a distinct sweetish smell that I became aware of as a child and since, have known when kids have it without being told or seeing the spots (I also had shingles at 18 so its pretty well engrained in my system lol).

    The worst thing I've ever smelled came from the summer that I foolishly tried chewing tobacco. Thankfully it was an easy practice to quit that same summer, but I seem to have missed one of the cups I was using as a spitoon. It spent a couple months in a hot room before being discovered. It was pretty full but didn't smell like much of anything until I picked it up to dump it out. The smell was worse than the worst vomit, outhouse, skunk, untended garbage can, or carcass that I've ever encountered.

    The worst things I have ever smelled are a toss-up between patients with bleeding in their gastrointestinal tracts (GI bleed) when I worked at a hospital and a puppy who died of parvo. Both are smells I can't really fully describe in their awfulness, but I will never forget them. :(

    I wish you the best of luck with this channel! It's really exciting, love the idea! A slight suggestion, since there was the episode with the seacucumber, some frogs/toads actually throw up the stomach when sick. And yes, have it hangning from their mouth all the while they're sick. When they get better, they swallow it back down again! >.< Yuck! I thought it might be intresting to look into the completely science of it. I know I felt sick after reading about it :)
    And for the worst thing I ever smelled... Well, once I was working with a nature councilor, we received a call about a dead otter. And he thought it would be a good idea to bring it home, clean it and deep freeze it to show it to the school students visiting. We spend 15 minutes cleaning a dead otter who'se stomach had bloated up to the size of a soccerball... That was a terrible stench, and it didn't even blow...

    My uncle is a marine biologist and he used to take me on field trips, once a sea turtle wound up dead on a beach from wounds caused by a boat, it wasnt the most populated beach so no one picked it up or disposed of it, by the time someone called the ministry of ambient (thats what its called in venezuela) it had been there for around a week , you could smell the thing from a mile away, im not even kidding, apparently the fat that connects the shell with the skin smells super potently when it rots.

  • @DustinRodriguez1_0
    @DustinRodriguez1_0 8 років тому

    Hmm, I gave some real thought to the worst smell I've ever come across.... it's actually a hard question. There are different ways in which smells can be bad. But I think the worst smell ever in my life thus far is probably the scent emitted by stinkbugs (I think they're a "shield" bug... a Chinese invasive species here in WV that has been proliferating like MAD). One substantial whiff of a stinkbug gives me an instant blinding headache. And thus far I have not been able to find anything which can reliably destroy whatever the substance they emit when threatened/dead rapidly. I've tried different kinds of soap, hydrogen peroxide, undiluted bleach, rubbing alcohol, white vinegar, and no matter what I scrub with my hands will still smell like it afterward. I need to get some turpentine and acetone and try those as well. SOMETHING has to break the stuff down. They're just some potent sulfur compounds (of course) as far as I know. But their scent beats out dead and rotting animals, rotted food, poorly maintained latrines, or anything else I have come across. It's just so penetrating.

    The two worst things I have ever smelled in my life are: 1) skunk hit by a truck on the side of a road next to my house. Im used to the smell of skunk spray but not when it's mixed in with rotting flesh. 2) When I moved into a basement apartment 3 years ago and the day I moved in, the toilet belches forth the most hellish smelling raw sewage ever. It was so overpowering my eyes, nose, throat and lungs burned. I immediately went outside to lose my lunch in the alley. This all happened because the tenant before me got angry at the landlord so she flushed powdered cement down the toilet(she was angry she got kicked for not paying rent). It only became apparent when he came over to test the washing machine(located literally behind the toilet on the other side of the wall). I am usually not a hateful person but she would deserve to be the mop that cleaned up the mess.
