THIS HACK .. might JUST SAVE YOUR LIFE
If you suddenly notice an unexplained bitter almond-like smell alongside other signs of a possible chemical exposure, leave the area and contact emergency services.
Some dangerous chemicals, including certain cyanide compounds, can reportedly have a bitter almond odor, but many people can’t smell them at all. Never rely on smell alone to detect a hazardous gas.
If you suspect a chemical leak or exposure, getting to fresh air and letting professionals investigate is much safer than trying to find the source yourself.
