I always found 2-mercaptoethanol far worse than DTT. Not a fan of butyric acid smell either. We have a lab that uses the similar ethanethiol and that is a smell that gets your attention. But for me the worst smell is the amalgam of all the odorants at the perfume counters in dept stores. I have to hold my breath as I pass by or face an immediate headache and nausea.
