Your sense of smell

Some things just stink. Your favorite team doesn't win a football, baseball or soccer game.

However these recent news stories had me wondering where the bad odors could be coming from.

Think the litter box needs emptying? Maybe it's just your laptop according to Dell. (courtesy of the BBC)

Can the smell of the famous "rooster sauce" (aka sriracha) cause headaches? Some people think so. (from the LA Times).

And you thought things were rough listening to Grandma's Lawrence Welk. Those darned Somali pirates can't handle this woman's music. (from www.military.com --thanks to my astute active duty brother-in-law).

Enjoy! More to come...

Now for something different...

No poop this time (I could go on ad nauseum, but I won't), but when I walked toward the inpatient unit at the Hotel recently, I was met with the most foul smell of urine. Not everyone agrees that it's a sign of UTI, which is true, but some urine definitely isn't just smelly, it's overpowering.

Cleaning it up didn't get rid of it, and neither did the myriad of air fresheners used by several staff members.

Some things I just don't miss when I'm not at work.

That is all. More to come...

The world of science

Science is so amazing these days.

According to a recent BBC article, bladder cancer in men may be detectable by using a urine odor test. So, if you have folks with smelly urine, they could, according to researchers have cancer.

If smelly urine is not enough, how about those folks with the purple catheter bags?

Definitely a sight to be seen....stay tuned.
