I’m going to visit my grandfather this weekend. His house smells like a skunk rolled around in some rotten cabbages, died, and got eaten and pooped out by a water buffalo. Thankfully I dont have to sleep there, but I do have to visit for a few hours, a couple days in a row. Last time, I wore a mask with mint toothpaste rubbed inside, which didn’t help at all.

Google is failing me; the only results I can find are how to get rid of a smell, and that’s just not possible here without a great deal of fire. So can anyone recommend how to live with a uniquely terrible smell for a few days?

    I don’t get migraines, but I’ve experienced smells like what you described. Not often, maybe once a year, my nose will turn up to 100 and I can smell everything in the house. And it’s not pleasant. Not even cooking and delicious food smells good, because the combination of smells are nausea inducing.
