What do you do to mask odors? A mask? Vicks under nose?

[Brian]

Ooohhh ick smells! We've all had those odors that just really get to us. For some, its the GIB, for others C-dif, and for some, stage IV ulcers. We all know our own nemesis. Now, how we deal with them is as variable as the smell itself. What do you do to mask the odors? A mask? Vicks under your nose? What do YOU do?

I'm wishing I'd taken my own advice about a mask, as I just drained my dog's impacted anal glands......GAG!

I use bath and body works hand sanitizer. The spearmint and eucalyptus. I get so many compliments from coworkers and patients. It doesn't smell too strong or like perfume but BOY does it smell good and hide those bad odors. I'll put some on before I do something stinky in patient rooms and it masks the odor very well
