Seachem prime

Does Seachem Prime have a strong odor to it? I've never used it before and I just opened a bottle I picked up this weekend and it has kind of a methane/rotten egg smell.

Ever opened a bucket of Seachem SAFE? Essentially Prime powder. THAT can clear a room!

it has a sulfur smell and it dissipates quickly when added to the water.

It indeed has some smell, never found it too harsh on me although, I use it to condition my water always.

my sniffer must be broken, I've never noticed, must be getting old. but now I'm intrigued...gonna have to check later haha.

BTW, I never got rotten egg smell from by bottle though, else, I would have never mixed it in my salt water tub.

I think after a while we just become immune...like the guy that pumps out septic tanks doesn't even blink when he pops that top
