What can you smell ?

[fossyant]

I work in an assisted living complex..a urine infection can be overpowering..
I often have to go on courses at Care homes...you need to be nose blind..like @Richard A Thackeray probably has ..it's so overpowering at times.
Those who work with it day in day out seem to cope ..me it makes me retch

My MIL's house smells bad these days. She's stopped using the loo and will only use the commode as she is scared of falling. Even though the commode is changed and cleaned every few hours, the smell is there as you open the door. Not much you can do.

I seem to have lost my sense of smell. But my nose is hyper sensitive to cigarette smoke.

Windows closed, to keep the smell of grass being smoked a few doors away out.

It might do you more good than you're aware of (possibly).

It's not just for hippies or the kidz!

I don't smoke but I actually like the smell of cannabis/pot/weed etc. and do enjoy an occasional splif.

After three or four hours it gets annoying.

My mate is back in the 'older persons ward' with more foot infections (serious type 1 issues) after he spent over 100 days in there. Now those wards smell.

I started my apprenticeship rewiring a nursing home - very different from a nurses home . the smell of stale urine and the aroma of faeces haunts me still.
one resident, John Thomas ( yes really) had a bag for both and was wheelchair bound. he used to delight in running over both in the chair and bursting the bags.

the room had welded vinyl floor and the upstand on it was 4ft up the wall to try and stop damage to the fabric of the building.

I'm very well almost all the time, TYVM.

I am involved in the investigation of a very specific and interesting type of body odour. So mainly that.

Like others have said, the smell of nursing home sticks in your mind. I worked in one for 4 years. The other staff said i was a bit snooty for not sitting on the residents seats or drinking out of the same cups as them. I saw an old chap doing a bowel movement in one of the cups. It's alright,they're washed well, said one of the staff.

I work for a perfume manufacturer so I'm one of the few chaps who can go home smelling of women's perfume and get away with it.

The labs are downstairs and some raw materials like furfuryl mercaptan are so stinky that if one of the lab staff opens the bottle, the stink fills the entire building in a few minutes. Should be in a fume cupboard really. It's not unpleasant as it's used in tiny dosages to make a coffee aroma but boy does it stink.

I can smell rubber
Just fixed a punctured tube .

I can smell Bull Poo.

But that's because there's a general election coming. After that there will be the stench of corruption and the sound of whatever party gets into power filling their, and their friends pockets.

SNAFU

I do love the smell of gunsmoke in the morning. The smell of success.
