Smelling issues
OK this is a weird one ......... I went to a job last night which involved me staying in a confined space with a really gut wrenching smell and I was there for 3 hours plus.
I dont want to go into details but is there anything that I can carry around in my kit bag on the market that I can put under my nose to help me stomach disguisting smells to stop me heaving. Silly I know, someone told me to try Vicks Vabour Rub but I figured that would open up my nasal passage and make the smell seem worse. See told you it was stupid.

Re: Smelling issues
Vaseline across the nostrils. Think my wife has done it before - possibly on jobs similar to yours

Re: Smelling issues
DO NOT TRY VICKS VAPO RUB!! It does indeed open the passages....
To be honest, nothing I have tried works. It's hard not to spew sometimes! |

Re: Smelling issues
I assume a Clothes peg would be a little indiscreet, so try Vaseline I used it in a former life once while I was installing phones in an OAP home, downside is that you will look like you have a snotty nose.
