to go with the relaxing smells thread, what are some smells that completely gross you out

top of my list is cooking veg. I can not stand it. it makes me sick.

the smell of hospital coridors/ wards

to an extent, the ocean (I think it's the salt in it)

pasta

fish

strong alcohol

cat (though I love cats)

[BipolaRNurse]

Feet. You haven't lived till you peel the socks off a homeless man who's worn them for the past six months.

Infected pressure ulcers.

Gastrointestinal bleeding (this is about as bad as smells get).

Diarrhea caused by an organism called C. diff.

Decomposition.

Can you tell I've spent time in the medical field? Haha!

thankfully I don't know what most of those things smell like.

well, feet perhaps, but not as extreme as 6 months

oh I forgot

vomit and blood

[winter loneliness]

Seafood, and to a lesser extent, meat
vomit
caged animals at the zoo

Turkey bacon....my husband eats it every morning and it makes me feel sick.

[UpDownAround]

Very few smells bother me much. This is a subject I have to be careful with; I sometimes relate things that didn't bother me that most people would not bring up in conversation.

[Sunflower123]

Boiling eggs and rotten eggs. Cooking Brussels sprouts, broccoli and cabbage.

[WildcatVet]

Ditto on Jennifer! Cabbage and Brussel sprouts make me so nauseous I can't eat the meal. Diesel fuel exhaust makes me nauseous and gives me an unbearable headache.

[Wild Coyote]

Some fish, smoke, perfumes, engine exhaust, most fuel, whey spread on fields, dog feces, cat urine, dirty garbage cans, paper mills, insect repellants.


WC

Garlic breath, strong BO, large-scale institutional dishwashing/kitchen areas, rotten potatoes. Our large communal compost and garbage collection bins. These and many more...

[Buzzy Z]

I smoked 3 packs of ciggs on a good day.Quit 30 yrs ago.Can't stand it now.I live in attached condos & my neighbor smokes pot like crazy I can not take it.Anything that lives in the ocean-my dog when she hasn't had a bath.She must know that as she has to sit on my lap most of the day. I think I could go on & on but I'll spare ya'll

it's interesting isn't it, how 1 person hates a smell, and someone else can actually putu p with it

case in point:

I don't actually hate the smell of garlic. sure, it's not really that comforting or nice, but their are so many worse things to smell out their

and I love garlic bread too

2 more to add to my list.... mud, and cheese (all types of cheese)

you know what's weird about this one, the smell of toast cooking relaxes me

but if it's cheese on toast,, it's the reverse affect

1. Camembert
2. Parmesan
3. Rancid eggs
4. Durian fruit

[liveforsummer]

Vomit, strong perfume, boiling vegetables (yep cabbage sprouts and broccoli) boiled eggs once peeling them, wet dog fur and I'm sure there's lots more

In my profession I can HIGHLY understand the feet and infected wounds. Also decomposition somewhat. Sights don't bother me much but smells---ACK! Gross.

[Miss Laura]

Old people smelling of urine I use to work in a shop and we had 3 old people who stunk of urinate. It's a shame.

Walking past a fish shop or counter

Off milk... happens a lot in my flat as I'm not a milk lover so don't drink it a lot

Cigarette smoke. Can't stand it.
My dad had surgery and needed a colostomy bag when i was young. He tended to it in my room one day thinking by the time I'd get home from school the smell would be gone. It was not, and i think that's the grossest smell I've ever experienced.
And i really don't like most perfumes, unless its fruity and weak.

[Unrigged64072835]

Poop, pee, vomit, and pus. And some of my farts, which can be eye-watering.

I don't have that sensitive of a nose, so I miss things other people smell.

[ComfortablyNumb5]

Ever since I was a kid... if you open a can of string beans around me, you better have a puke bucket in hand lol.

And vodka reminds me of my wild bar tending days making shots. Blehhhhhh.

[SorryShaped]

Anything done with turkey that's not turkey. It just smells funky and not good.
Sick Donald's (McD's) is repulsive.
Menthol anything.
Strawberry anything. The allergy is helped by this. Self preservation.
Cigarette smoke at all hurts my stomach.
Perfume. Not needed ladies. Sweat smells good. Get your magnesium and zinc and it won't stink.
Vinyl. Not albums but furniture, clothing, etc.
This one shows my age. I still remember today the stink a new cassette or floppy disk has. Vinyl I imagine again.

[Nammu]

Plastic
Vomit
Asparagus ( yes it smells)
Skunk
Alcohol
Decomposition

[winter loneliness]

I forgot cruciferous vegetables.
