| Apr 10, 2017 at 14:48 | comment | added | user4188 | I learned these are used in operating rooms when reading the swamps on dagobah story on reddit. Warning: don't google it. If you googled it do not read it. If you read it, well, what did you expect. Although, the writing style is excellent " The surgeon was ex-Army, and averaged about eight words and two facial expressions a week. " | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 12:03 | comment | added | Henk Langeveld | Pure coincidence then. What you said exactly described what I saw in the show last week. Michael Portillo visits the tanneries in Marrakesh. I found a link to bad youtube video here youtu.be/T0cbd0mAxIg?t=2384 | |
| Mar 26, 2017 at 19:14 | comment | added | iled | @HenkLangeveld I'm sorry, I don't know what you are talking about. My comment was drawn from experience. I actually visited a tanning facility there. | |

Looks awkward, but it works. For instance, in Morocco they use dove poo to process (tanning) leather, and they will provide you peppermint leaves to visiting tourists. | |
| Mar 24, 2017 at 14:00 | comment | added | Thorsten S. | @user568458 I am backpacking for longer times in more isolated areas, meaning that I am not able to take a hot shower. From experience I can tell you that unfortunately cold water is not particularly effective in removing body odors, even with soap, so do not expect that a toilet sink is an immediate solution. | |

| Mar 24, 2017 at 10:23 | comment | added | user56reinstatemonica8 | @congusbongus Maybe if the stinky passenger sees the passengers around them putting on actual plague doctor masks, they will take the hint and us the sink in the toilets for a quick wash... | |
| Mar 24, 2017 at 7:49 | comment | added | Quantum spaghettification | In the past I have used vanilla extract, dabbed under the nose - this works well. | |
| Mar 24, 2017 at 6:57 | comment | added | Nitish | A person with a sensitive nose might not be comfortable with the smell of Tiger balm for too long. | |
| Mar 24, 2017 at 3:47 | comment | added | congusbongus | This is the same solution that nurses use (depending on locale, Vicks may be more common than Tiger Balm). Also similar to plague doctor masks. | |
| Mar 23, 2017 at 22:38 | comment | added | Thorsten S. | @mzu Sometimes you can suck menthol drops and numb the nose from the inside, but if it goes on for hours....Menthol/eukalyptus has the advantage that you can always say that you are afraid of a cold...<cough><cough> | |
