Does anyone else Smell SPOILED ONION ODOR???

Friday, September 01, 2006 - FreeMarketNews.com

A mysterious disease seems to be striking a region in Georgia, one that has local scientists and health officials both baffled and alarmed. According to a story in the Fayette Citizen, the birds and insects of north Fayette and south Fulton counties have been disappearing, the dogs and cats are sick and dying, and many of the human residents in at least one area have been ill for the past several months.

The presumed cause stems from an "onion-like chemical odor" which reportedly first showed up during the Memorial Day holiday. One theory is that the smell comes from the chemical odorant and pesticide MOCAP; others are not so sure. Symptoms, for the dogs and cats as well as the humans, include vomiting, diarrhea, skin irritation, and problems with breathing. The main difference is that some of the smaller animals have died.

Notably, the story said, of the animals so far identified as sick or dying, nearly all live within a two-mile radius of the Philips Services Corp. plant on Georgia Highway 92

p.s. I noticed spoiled onion smell on and off for 2 months in TX area...I've been sick on and off too with intestinal issues
anyone else?

This was also present in Charleston, SC.

is anyone mapping every where this has been reported? I would be interested to see if there are any correlations.

ethyl mercaptan (C2H5SH)
This man-made molecule is toxic. Inhalation can cause nausea, headaches, lack of coordination, as well as kidney and liver damage. I've smelled this one and personally don't think it's too noxious (skunk is worse). Some people believe it smells like a combination of rotting onion and cabbage, mixed in with a bit of sewer gas. I think it smells a bit more like old rancid buttered popcorn. This molecule is very volatile and can be smelled in low concentrations, so it is used as a warning odorant for liquid propane gas.

it's strange..i noticed the smelling lingering in my house on and off. It's as though it's a live odor bacteria that is not dying off.. I sometimes smell that onion smell in my stools.
And I don't eat that much onion.
In the past, I ate onions all the time, this is definitely not from that.

If you smell it in your stools you may need a heavier coat or shellac or varnish. Then sand lightly and give a final coat.

First of all I came across this site by doing a google search. I am not into any ufo or other crazy stuff but I was looking to find answers on a peculiar odor I have come across.

In the Treasure Coast area of Fl,where I occasionally visit a friend who recently moved there for the past five months, I notice a scallion-like odor when I go jogging around the community. I smelled it here and there and I thought it was probably the local flora.

Now that I am looking to buy a property there, I am bothered more by the odor. When I have gone to look at the properties I have pinched the nearby leaves and some flowers but I do not get the odor from them. So now I am thinking could this odor be some kind of gas? More so, I am thinking could this be some kind of toxic gas.

I don't want to buy and then be stuck getting sick with a valueless home. I will continue to research before I buy.

could also be mold inside the inner walls, only have it checked it it is persistent and always there then you know something is wrong BTW
