Odor Perception Inhibitor
Odor Perception Inhibitor is a gel-like substance that when dabbed under the nostrils, prevents the body from perceiving certain smells. It has eased the work of homicide detectives and crime scene technicians by stopping the ability to smell decomposing flesh. It has allowed rescue workers to pull bodies from rubble of bombed buildings without being overwhelmed by the smell. Because the sense of smell is the sense most closely associated with memory; the use of the products prevents the mind from associating an odor with a traumatic event or gruesome crime scene.
