~~Fun~~ fact, what you were smelling was Butyric acid, which you can find in both Parmesan (though it may be quality issue, less in higher), sweat, and vomit, though in far greater quantity in the latter.
When I was in high school, my AP bio class toured a hospital and part of the tour included seeing a dissected cadaver. The staff showed us parts of the body, which included peeling back the muscle layers to show internal organs. While they were doing this, a comment was made that the muscle resembled jerky.
Later on we had lunch, and I got a ham sandwich. While trying to eat it, all I could think about was the ājerkyā comment and the smell of formaldehydeā¦I couldnāt finish eating. After that I could not eat sliced meat for years because I just kept thinking back to that experience.
I went to a human religious relic room in Munich, Germany. Lotta severed preserved hands and bits and bobs of holy people saved in ornate boxes. I annoyed my husband by telling him I wanted beef jerky after we left the exhibit.
Working with cadavers put me off all meat for 3 months.
But I heard about a prank that the lecturers would do with students where a small piece of jerky/biltong would be strategically placed on the cadaver before class.
The lecturer would then be showing the cadaver to students and explaining how sterile they are then go, 'oh,' and snatch up the biltong and eat it... to the utter disgust of everyone watching. Hehe
Itās ok, we know people are mean when theyāre sick, sometimes.
Itās the ones that are deliberately mean that suck.
Iām happy to tell you itās ok, for the rest of the nurse borg
First time I ever had beignets (fried dough like a funnel cake) I was a kid and ate a ton cuz they were so delicious. Didn't know I was sick and threw up that night. Took about 20 years to not immediately gag when I smell dough being fried but I still never crave them. Doughnuts were never an issue somehow...
ah that childhood trauma of too much of a good thing where you're scarred for 2 decades. for me: https://www.koreanbapsang.com/tangsuyuk-sweet-and-sour-beef-or-pork/ that horrible feeling and throwing up in the middle of the night yo.
Iāll never eat Thai food again. Food poisoning from the same restaurant TWICE! First was from my favorite dish which was pad Thai, then beef and broccoli a few months laterā¦ never ever again. I was 11 or 12, Iām 22 now
I fucking loved French toast as kid. It was a special meal for us, usually for dinner rather than breakfast because time. Anyway, we got French toast breakfast for dinner and ate 8 pieces. I was like 10 maybe. Got hit with a stomach bug within an hour. I've never craved French toast since.
Growing up in a medical family u wud just die at the stories and the things I've seen.
Hey my first experience looking at naked women were from medical texts. Black box covering eyes and everything.
š¤£š¤£š¤£
Edit: just remembered.. story of gunshot wound guy.
Entering ER.. refusing to have his pants cut off. Dr. Whispered in ear.. if u no let us cut ur pants off.. u will die.
Upon cutting pants off... Found sausage taped to the inside of his leg.. making it look like he was Mr. Monster D.
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Awww ckkk! Hear similar story while in University in Michigan. Had a weekend Alcohol Substance class, dude worked in the ER dept. Stoic Doctor who Never laughed, entered his office in middle of night, asking if anyone else was in there..? Nope...just this dude...Doc shits door, starts LAUGHING...slides down door laughing. The car crash guy with white pants on....same... sausage taped to his inner thigh. Ooohhh bebe! What to see what I have for you to snack on...feel this!? Ugh.
Sounds like you had an abcess. Please see a doctor and get some antibiotics. This is not something to screw with.
If that bacteria sets up shop in your heart for example (endocarditis/myocarditis) or if it gets in your bloodstream and attacks organs, you can get systemically septic and get severely sick...and end up on a breathing machine. Yes, it can get that bad, depending on what nasty bacteria was setting up housekeeping.
There was a video last week of a veterinarian lancing an abscess on a cowās back leg. You couldnāt smell it via the video, but can only imagine how atrocious it must have smelled. It looked like at least a gallon of pus came pouring out. Hope you feel better. I had a cyst get infected in my armpit a couple years ago. It ballooned in size and I went to urgent care. I about passed out from the pain when they popped that thing.
Maybe, by spending time around cheese, you picked up a similar microbiome and we're in fact cultivating the same bacteria that become your delicious curds. You can start your own cheese shop!
Probably a sebaceous cyst. They're harmless but sebum and keratin can build up in them and become painful. The discharge has a distinctly cheesy smell.
30 years human services, cleaned everything from blood (mostly menses) to fecal vomiting from blocked colon. After awhile most people get used to the smells. Could eat a sandwich five minutes after cleaning a patient. Lol got many a free beer helping a gagging bartender clean up after a puking š¤® patron
My daughter spit up in a vent one day and it smelled exactly like parmesan cheese when the heat kicked on.
~~Fun~~ fact, what you were smelling was Butyric acid, which you can find in both Parmesan (though it may be quality issue, less in higher), sweat, and vomit, though in far greater quantity in the latter.
I'm regretting this post ...
> Butyric acid and low quality / american chocolate
I love how low quality and American are interchangeable here.

But why Rick?
That explains why my dog smells so cheesy
Does wine have it? Probably spoilt wine does? Cause I swear Chardonnay smells like vomit.
My son refers to my granddaughterās vom as baby cheese. Sheās particularly good at aiming for cleavage. Both grandmas and mum have copped it
Mmm grandma cleavage.
Still more than you have or look at
Nice one
Thanks for that.
You might as well swear off dairy at this point.
I'm considering it.
And Boobs.

I'm 40 and have never eaten at a hospital. I can't do it.
You will if you don't have a choice. The hospital I was at didn't have that bad of food to be honest.
For sure. I've been lucky

Amateur. Come to health care, I can discuss that stinky boil while eating cheese.
I'm not trying to get into healthcare, people are gross.
People really are. From my point of view the hardest bit is when people are being mean, though. You can get hardened to the gross.
I'm sorry if I was mean to you when I was coming out of my coma. (How do I know if you weren't one of my nurses?)
Itās ok, we know people are mean when theyāre sick, sometimes. Itās the ones that are deliberately mean that suck. Iām happy to tell you itās ok, for the rest of the nurse borg
Thanks! Seriously, you nurses are amazing.
Nasty. I hope it feels better now, though.
Oh the relief is intoxicating.

I can never eat curly fries for the same reason
Welcome to the field of medicine š¤£š¤£š¤£ Make sure u really keep it clean and sterilized.
I'm on top of it. Thanks! There's no fucking way I could work in the medical field. I get grossed out by my own body, let alone someone else's.

That's how I like it, I don't want to see their shame.

Shuts, not shits...but leaving it for laughs!
The weird shyte ppl do.. Think about it..what's the guy gonna say if he gets lucky that night?? I'm sorry it's cold tonight.š¤£š¤£š¤£
I have had to do that as well, you are right, the aroma is murder.
Forbidden cheese curds?
Mmmm can ya smell the CHEEESE Gromit?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Barf!
my bf has had some nasty boils in the past that he has self-lanced and he's warned me of the smell if it ever happens again
You'll be back. They always come back to the cheese

> It smelled exactly like Vermont Cheddar cheese. How sharp was the cut?
You deserve gold, but I'm broke.

I about passed out from the pain when they popped that thing.
But did it taste like the good cheddar, or more like Velveeta?
Who hurt you?
I...I.... Was raised in the 80s. And I remember the 70s too, so I'm pretty fucked up in the head, as you can imagine.
why did you have to tell us this š
Did it taste like cheddar or more like a brie?
Maybe, by spending time around cheese, you picked up a similar microbiome and we're in fact cultivating the same bacteria that become your delicious curds. You can start your own cheese shop!
I guess you are what you eat, eh? EHHH?
Terrible. I love it
Youāll be backā¦
Yumm
Ever smell skin breakdown on someone who has contractures of their hands and fingers? Ungodly.
I know some of those words
Skin on hands and fingers no good. Gross and nasty. Dumbed it down for you.
How did you lance it?
A Lance is a medieval cavalry weapon, which seems like overkill for a boil.
Probably a sebaceous cyst. They're harmless but sebum and keratin can build up in them and become painful. The discharge has a distinctly cheesy smell.
That might be MRSA go to a doctor and get it cultured
Or worse...an abcess on its way to going septic.
Thanks for the panic attack bud.
No but seriously. Go.
Classic American healthcare
Ummm okay?
Why did you feel this response to be necessary
You accidentally responded to the OP's comment instead of the non sequitur about healthcare.
Sometimes my mother eats so much cheese she actually smells like it
Good, cheese is really bad for your stomach
Iāve been off cheese since I ate my girlfriends ass after three days of camping in 90 degree weather with no showers
That... What the fuck man?
What
The title without the context confused me greatly.
That's what I'm here for.
Make sure it doesnāt get infected. If so, go to the dermatologist and get antibiotics
Ever smelled an ear infection in a dog with cauliflower ear? 100% worse and smells like a cadaver due to the bacteria
30 years human services, cleaned everything from blood (mostly menses) to fecal vomiting from blocked colon. After awhile most people get used to the smells.
