Now, before any of you wisenheimers tell me to just get up early and check, I'm not going to get up at 5 a.m. to check for smells, I'd rather sit here now writing this to ask you extremely exceptionally knowledgeable folks here.

My wife and I noticed the foul smelling irrigation water long ago. If you go outside very long at all the smell will even be on your clothes. I think most people don't notice it, maybe have aclimated to it or have a poor sense of smell as we age. You have to know that it is bad stuff when they tell not to get the water on you or to bathe soon after you do.
