Worst job smell and worst job you have experienced.
Smell
worldwide-back alley in Calcutta India in the summer heat, rotting flesh, urine/feces and cooking food smells hitting you in the face from a mild breeze topped with the order of unwashed human BO. The smelly dust that gets on your sweaty skin is flakes of dried animal and human waste.
United States-several
Entering an apartment in the South Bend area. The body of the gentleman had already been removed. However he had expired on a reclining couch in late summer. His body had decomposed and "exploded". He was a large man and his post death fluids sprayed out at amazing distances.
The customer I was working with was a crime scene remediation company. The owner said he had a good jobsite for me to see. I'm pretty sure another ingo member also talked about this job. From the looks of the floor in front of the recliner it looked like the morgue guys moved him, but he broke apart on the floor and they scooped him up into several body bags. I was in full tyvek with a respirator. His employees where to remove everything touched or soaked by these fluids. The clean up bill and repairs where in the high 5 figures.
The raw water intake area at the south side waste water treatment plant in Indy. It was July and my tour guide tried to gross me out. It had a sweet but disgusting order. I hurt his feelings when I told him the unit I visited in Muncie smelled about the same.
Columbus In and Plymouth In- both were rendering plants. Late summer at the inspection pipe at the hammer mill. That is a smell. Lots of surface area on decomposing animal parts. Don't have any appointments after those visits! The vats holding freshly removed animal hides is also pretty bad.
The coworker I took with me to see the plant had mental health issues two weeks later. The piles of dead animals messed with him and he had to be reassigned to another area of the company. I warned him, but he wanted to experience it.
The liquid waste pits under hog confinement building are pretty nasty too. Pig crap and raw pork at times smells about the same......it just depends on the cut!
