“Funny, I don’t remember anyone ever getting sick from the smell”

Methyl Mercaptan-—Methanethiol-—CH3SH-—an organosulfur compound. A nauseating odor if subjected to prolonged exposure. At very high concentrations it is highly toxic and affects the central nervous system. Leaking methyl mercaptan killed four employees and injured one in a DuPont facility in La Porte, Texas, near Houston, on 15 November 2014.
