Doc Toups Location: South Louisiana, USA. Date: November 1997

This case history is an example of a "category 5" in the NonSeents Product Use Guidelines. We desire to caution the reader that because of the nature and seventy o f this problem the reading of this material may be offensive to some individuals. We have tried to describe this situation as discreetly as possible. There are a number of very important lessons to learn about the application of NonScents' product in this case history.

The nature of th s case history is so sensitive that an exact location of where it took place is deliberately not being revealed. In an apartment complex in south Louisiana residents, on all sides of an apartment, complained about severe odors emanating from a particular apartment. Inspection of the apartment found that a man had died and his body was on the floor of the living room. It was a two bedroom apartment of about 800 square feet. The coroner later estimated that the man had been dead for about 17 days.

This was one of Doc's first consulting jobs as a NonScents distributor. When he arrived at the site the body had been removed from the apartment, but the cause of death had not been determined. Doc was instructed to put on a Scott Air Pack (an air oxygen tank that firemen use.) This was done as a protective measure against any other contaminants that may have caused the death of the person, and because the odors of decomposed flesh were almost beyond human endurance. Inside the apartment an outline of the persons body was found on the living room rug, which was caused by extruded decomposed body fluids. Three cans of powder were put over this area. Nine more cans of ~ powder was applied to the rest of the apartment. The rugs were covered with powder as well as the bed, chairs, sofa, cabinet tops, etc. The drapes were taken down and a liberal covering of powder was applied to them as well. Then eight caps (2 lb. bags) were put in the return air vent. Two caps were hung over each air vent in each room. In addition, ten caps were placed near where the bodywas found. These were placed in convenient places such as, furniture, etc. The ventilation fan in the apartment was left on to circulate air throughout the apartment. This is a very important step because ff owing air brings the positively charged odor molecules in contact with NonScents faster so they can be adsorbed more efficiently. The product was left this way for three days. Doc also noted that after leaving the apartment his clothes reeked of these odors. To reduce and ultimately remove these odors he dusted his clothes with powder. Later when he got home they were washed with an additional dose (a couple of tablespoons of NonScents powder added to the laundry soap.
