What should I do with all my stuff?
Hi. I live in an apartment. On thursday they found that my neighbor that lived opposite of me died. We had beenn smelling wierd smell four days before they found him. As the days passed the smell got worse. we couldnt figure it out. to me smelled like toilets or something. Well it turns out he died in sleep and was there for about a week before people found him. CSI came and cleaned up. burned his bed and carpet with chemcals. and left his window open to air out. His stuff is still in there. WEll i picked up and left with my kids and husband because we got creeped out an the smell got so much worse. I am now leaving that apartment. I cannot lie there any more. i cant be there knowing that smell came here.
my question is when the body is decaying and the smell came in our apartment could there be airborne diseases that i should be concerend about and if they are on all my stuff. second I am throwing away everything. all our clothes our furniture our entire kitchen stuff. Just keeping pictures, home videos and things that were same in closed boxes. Am i overexagerating or am i right to do this. keep in mind the smell is not going away and it was horrendously tramatic. I dont think smell will go away from anything fabric.
Are there any CSI or coroners that can answer this.
thanks

Fe-breeze. This would be a Great test to Fe-breezes claim that "it doesn’t mask odor, it Kills it", then if it doesn’t post it everywhere…..No really the smell will go away eventually, but riga mortise is a very acid penetrating smell. It will take a few weeks to get out of your Psyche alone. When I was a kid a man burnt in the middle of our street. The smell was atrocious and stagnated for weeks in everything. Open windows, and use fans, air circulation helps speed the process. Clean everything down with bleach, lysol (clean what you can with products that won’t damage your stuff) and put anything you can in the washer machine. Even cleaning your carpets will help speed it up. If you can’t wait it out then have a Garage sale.
As far as dangers of sickness, No. Maybe nausea due to the smell. As anyone who has come in contact with a decaying body will say it is one of the worse smells imaginable. Even worse is the impact on your Psyche. I am not a mortician or in CSI, but I have had experience in death. I do have a friend that is a forensic scientist because of what happened outside our houses as kids. And according to him there is no danger of sickness other than a weak stomach and rightly so.
