Last time I turned some of that stuff I was working in a small shed, with
the doors shut. I knew it would smell so I didn't think much about it until
I found myself running for the nearest bucket. I cant turn the stuff now,
the first whiff of the stuff churns my stomach.
My advice, leave the windows or doors open, a little sniff of the stuff
is great when you have a cold, but a dirty great big bowl full of the stuff
was more than I could stomach.

Hotfoot.
