I had a serious case of chickenpox right before I turned 21. All over crust, mouth, eyelids, ears, groin.....I smelled like I was rotting and eventually was hospitalized for two weeks. The nurses took turns or drew straws or something. I pretty much went out of my mind for awhile.

On a positive note, afterwards, I didn't have any kind of acne for like 5 years.

My dog's breath after she gets into the compost pile.

This is harmless in comparison to what has already been mentioned, but vomit tempts me to add to the source of the smell.

Some babies have some extra wholesome smelling diapers too.

I have no idea what exactly it was, but it was a false smell I experienced in a dream one night. I can only describe it as something between vomit, sewage and death.

The experience was so disgusting I couldn't even bring myself to eat after I woke up for most of the day, kinda like a false aftertaste if that makes any sense.

Maybe you farted in your sleep

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

LOL, a fart would have been a blessing compared to the smell in my dream.

Ammonia. It doesn't technically smell bad, but it stings and does horrible stuff to you. Had the misfortune to use a lot in Chemistry and ended up puking from poisoning.

That and diarrhea and diarrhea farts.

Coffee ground emesis, and stool from a patient dying from a GI bleed. Absolute worst smell I have encountered in my life. It's also a smell that sticks to you.

Oh, you just gave me flashbacks. The closest I can come to describing it is rotting lilies.

I think rotten eggs are worse though.

A mixture of fart and sulfur. It was so bad I could puke!

Many years ago, I went to a plant manufacturing cooking oil. We were installing new fatty acid deodorizers. Damn, they needed them.

Pulp and paper plants are pretty nasty; and food processing plants with wet/rotting grains are vile. I used to get highly amused by auditors puking. Raw sewage generally smells better - lol.
