I'll second that aftershave thing
never underestimate the power of nice smelling men. Mmmm.

I work in a lab. Some of the stuff we have in here smells like you wouldn't even believe, I'm talking insta-retch, nearly passing out kind of reek. And no, I'm talking about chemicals, not my colleagues...

Ah well
I had a good evening regardless. But next time, eh? If you let me know in enough time I can sort something out with work!

DMSO and DMS for the minging win.
Although we used to grow a Strep strain that needed sheep blood meal in its media, that was fucking vile.

I've never found DMSO to be that bad

I used to fucking hate running reduced gels because of that.

Oof, not good.

Oh, sweet jesus, mercaptoethanol, I'd actually erased that from my mind it's so fucking bad.
Cheers for that.

DMSO on its own is bearable but if you get anoxic transformation into DMS then it's fucking evil.

We only ever use it for freezing cells down
so none of that, I don't think.
(berk, Tue 22 Nov 2011, 11:15, Reply)

yeah, some cells will do that transformation
so when you defrost them .... it's mingtown.

The worst thing I've ever smelled in terms of chemicals was sulphur
So I assume yours is far worse, and as such, you have my sympathy.

In my new job we also have to culture stool samples
so that we can test them for presence of typhoid. Oh. Dear. Sweet. Jesus. I actually hold my breath before going in to that incubator.
