Now it looks as though you are ready to be exposed to the world's worst odour.
And l'm ready to leave the room.
The stench soup will be sucked up from this bottle directly into the nostrils of the volunteer.
In a few seconds he's going to experience what Monell claim is the worst smell in the world.
When the smell hits - it sends the heart starts racing, and the body starts to sweat.
l'm feel...
But how did the other volunteers find it?
That was the worst smell l've ever smelled.
l urgh like throwing up it was so bad.

Er when the smell came through it was a pretty sudden change kind of get a little gag reflex there.
If you were in an area that was filled with that odour would you be able to stay there very long? Er l don't think so.
So perhaps Monell's incredible stench could control a rowdy crowd.
Anyone in their right mind wouldn't hang around long enough to get a 2nd whiff of it.
Compared to many animals our sense of smell is puny.
But when it comes to truly bad smells, even a tiny whiff can knock us to our knees.
Compared to all that even a skunk smells sweet.
