I have smelled this before with alcohol, including me when i was in active addiction. People who "huff" also smell of chemicals. I hope your son finds his way out of addiction. How are you doing with all of this?
Yes I have, I had a best friend that drank so much that she would sweat the toxins as her liver could not clear them It came from her pores I could not sit with her in a car. I also smelled this with people that did speed Myself included.. I have also smelled this with opiates when used in large amounts. I describe it as a burning wire smell.. I hope your Son finds the Strength to Free himself.. lesa
