Fortunately I never had to deal with the smelly and gross. My worst had to do with extreme noise mixed with heat and humidity. I worked for a company that did electrical control upgrades for corrugated paper machines (some people call it cardboard) We tried to do our work during plant shutdowns but on this one occasion we were working on one of the machines while the rest of the plant was up and running. We were near Tampa Florida in July. I suspect the heat and humidity isn't anything too different than what many of you would consider normal, but being from the Pacific Northwest, I wasn't acclimated. Add to that a noise level that no amount of hearing protection seemed appropriate. Communication with coworkers was impossible, you could not shout loud enough to be heard.
