I have been in the fire service for 29 years and over that time I have learned to deal with "odors" from patients and victims. Use a cheap surgical mask and run a bead of "Vicks Mentholatum" across thew inside of the mask. This will even kill the smell of a body decomposing for weeks in a warm environment!

Good Luck

I appreciate your "trick" for odors....however, I don't think it would have worked at Christmas with the ex-brother-in-law who stunk so bad whenever he came in the room....don't know how I would have explained the MASK...maybe could have said I didn't want to spread MY germs....LOL.
