I got this smell stuck in my nose!

[Alpha]

A few months ago I was doing some regular driving for my job. However, a boss of mine wanted me to take a different route since he told me I can get their quicker. Well for one, he was right, I got there much quicker, but for a price.

 

I had to drive through all this farmland .... lines and lines of crops ... you name it, these people had it (grapes, onions, carrots, etc.). All my windows were closed shut and I had fresh air coming inside the car from outside. Suddenly, my mouth started spasming for a second or two. It felt more like it was my taste buds having a heart attack. I then smelled the most horrible odor in my life. It was like a mix of cow manure and who knows what else? Pesticides, chemicals? I don't know. The smell was so bad that my taste buds reacted before I even actually smelled it.

 

Nevertheless, this smell has not left my nose since. If I tap the tip of my nose .... I smell that same crap from 2 months ago and as strong as it was the first time I smelled it. I don't know what to do. I've stuck Vasoline in my nose, tried to wash out my nose in the sink, but the smell doesn't go away!

 

Anybody got any tips before I got to visit a damn doctor?

Was it a chicken farm that you smelled?

Was it a chicken farm that you smelled?

It's possible, but I don't remember seeing any animals.

[Robert]

You won't. All you see is some long white sheds.

[Fatal Rose]

How could you smell something for two months?

[Alpha]

You won't. All you see is some long white sheds.

Hmmm.... It's hard going back 2 months. Again though, it's possible. Are chickens really smelly or something?

 

By the way, Robert brought up a good question in the IRC channel.

 

If any of you think I don't take showers or bathes, you are wrong! I take a bathe once a week and shower almost every day.

 

I'm a damn clean individual and that is why this smell is driving me bananas!

[Reaper man]

hmm, drive to the farmland and get out of your car. Take a few good whiffs, and hopefully you'll kill the sensory organs in your nose....

[Robert]

Chickens are extremely smelly and can be smelt from miles away if the wind blows in your direction.

 

It's not like you see in Bugs Bunny, the chickens spend their entire lives cooped up in multistory cages, and when they lay an egg, it rolls into a trough for easy collection. None of this straw nest, or pecking around the yard stuff.

If I do that, then I can't smell the pheromones of a woman. That's a horrible thing to tell me to do.

 

Son of a biatch!

I hope everyone sees the sarcasm.

Snort some cocaine. The smell will go away.

[L.S.D]

Smell your own crap. Hopefully it is stronger than the smell you are smelling now.

Either try and forget about the smell or take a wiff of something different like a bowl of mustard (if thats your thing). I had this metal taste in my mouth after smelling something horrible today and it left my mouth as soon as i ate a bowl of spaghetti.

[L.S.D]

I don't think GC can eat spaghetti through the nose.

[Gryph]

GameCop can do ANYTHING he puts his mind to. Even eating spaghetti through the nose.

WHAAAAAT!?!? O.K. Obviously this isn't normal, but damn, this is EXTRA-UN-ordinary, thats right... I had to make up a new word to describe this..... I grew up near a small farmland, Here in Florida. My best friend had chickens, not so many, but still. Yes, chickens CAN smell, but not that bad. Not even if you have 100's and never let them out and they kinda root in there own crap.

 

I'll ask my mom, she is into alternative medicines, she will have a few ideas, but honestly, I think there was a chemical or something involved, as you suggested, that might have been possible. You see, even when something dies, and rots like hell, it's still natural, organic matter. Even considering hormones and such, as to be expected with farm animals. My point with that is these things naturally fade, there organic, your body processes massive amounts of organic ...... look, it should have faded a looooooong time ago.

 

I used to fill Propane, I'm a certified handler still. They put a chemical in propane so you can smell it, you see, naturally it is odorless. To fill a tank, you have to hook it up to the valve, and open a bleeder valve, so the vapor can expel while you fill it with the liquid gas. then of course you fill the tank. And yea you smell it. But sometimes someone would bring in a tank, and it's really old, but still has the OPD valve.... nevermind that... but the tank has sat there for a long time and the contents have ... well I don't know... fermented or rotted or something. Point is when I filled tanks that were old, the smell is REALY bad. I always said it stuck to my nose hairs because I would smell it for a few min. Point is this was a unatural chemical that produced this effect.

 

But you .......... Dude your taste buds acted first. Almost sounds like chemical warfare..... And you smell it, just as strongly, when you touch the tip of your nose!!!!!! AND you even put crap up there to clean it out...... It damn sure does sound like some chemical. This is nooooo good man, as you can tell. Sounds like your nose needs to soft-reset. ok ok, no stupid jokes.

 

You need to purge this out, and I will have some suggestions within 18 hours. But I don't know man, the smelling of this for so long is real bad.... by itself. The fact that your taste buds reacted as they did worries me more.

 

So there. All I can say for now is that it is a chemical agent. Unless of course you are allergic to something you never knew about....

 

I know this really doesn't help, but I'll report back with some advice.....
