I find that even a live one already smells mw_sick.gif
The smell sticks on your fingers even after washing with soap. tongue2.gif

I think the best is you should take a whiff of a live one so that you know what its like.
A dead one would smell very different. Good luck.

Sorry to dig up my own old thread.After i have experienced with acros,the acros smell and yeah they will stink your hand and wash with soap the smell will still stick to it.Sometimes i just type with the stench still on my hand.Only montis don't smell bad.

I have seen that last time i used to talk unprofessionally as it is more like a kid(last time used to play loads of online games).I apologise for my unprofessional talking last time.
Heh heh heh!!!
