Gross Question....

[luvmy2angels]

Without getting to graphic does anyone know how to get the NASTY smell of necrotic and infected tissue smell out of your nose?? I want to take a wire brush to it cause i swear i can still smell it!! Than god i was chewing mint gum, that helped me get through the procedure but i can still smell it, or is it just mental cause it was SOOOOO bad?????

It is the worst smell ever! I think the best thing you can do...in the future when you're dressing that particular wound wear a mask, use vicks under your nose and mouth breathe. That's the only thing that helped me.

I hate breathing in through my nose because I feel like the nasty is in my lungs. And I hate mouth breathing because I feel like it's, well, in my mouth. :barf01:
