What is the stinkiest smell you've ever experienced?  

I don't know if this is the stinkiest smell I've ever smelled, but it was pretty terrible. It was a few months ago and a virus was going around the preschool I work at. Several of the kids in my class all started throwing up at the same time and it smelled horrible! All At The Same Time. Nasty. And I'm by myself in the class. I can't stand the smell of vomit anyway, so I was gagging the whole time I was cleaning.

A smell that has remained in memory for years was one that I smelled when I was just a kid.

We lived in a big farm house, surrounded by all kinds of farms. There were horse, cattle, goat and chicken farms. Across the street from our house was a farm where the crops were rotated. We never knew what kind of crop would be grown the next season. (Smart farming...unlike today.)

The year that the farmer planted cabbage is the year I remember best. After the crop had matured, he cut a deal for all of his land and sold it to a developer to build a bunch of houses.

He must have gotten an excellent price, and soon he was off to parts unknown...leaving the cabbage to rot. You cannot imagine how horrible an entire field of rotten cabbage smells!

But I remember...even today...about 45 years later.

A skunk! There are tons of them this time of year smashed on the roads and whoa! Do they stink! When I was up north their was one just about everyday close to the cabin...and it takes a while for that odor to disperse!

A wet tiger lying in it's own urine and feces.
This was what I found once when the circus I worked for
had me go pick up this cat which was an unwanted pet.
The foulest, rudest, and nastiest odor ever.

Other than the smell of vomit whenever someone gets sick, the worse smell I can think of was when my dalmatain ran after a skunk, that was one bad smell..

so far it's skunk
I smelled it once and when I smelled it again I knew it was skunk
there is no other smell like that hahah
I first smelled it when travelling and it's just so bad I remember it

I think the worst smell I've experienced is the smell of a decaying animal. I live in the country and often get the smell from some animal that is lying in the woods dead. Its horrible. Other than that it would involve my husband and chilli but I won't go into that, lol.+

Without a doubt, it was in the Mother in Laws 'attic' full of wild cats...you can imagine how it reeked through the house...Oh dear, such lovely memories...xoxoox Hugs Ambie xoxo

Some days I swear little Lily's diapers seem like the worst thing I have ever smelled. Makes me question what she gets fed some days. I joked a few weeks ago when she had one of the stinkiest ones on record that it smelled like something crawled into her diaper and died.

My father is a supervisor in one of the largest fish processing plants in the US. He has spent years driving his car back and forth from the plant. Mix south Florida heat and fish trapped in a car, you get the picture. I of course do NOT ride in his car ever. And cannot even stomach the thought of fish to eat.
