My hands smell vaguely of chicken manure, because I didn't use gloves when I handled dehydrated chicken manure pellets this morning. I've washed them three times with two different soaps. My day is ruined.

Last time I handled chicken manure pellets with gloves, I still had to wash my hands like 5 times and the smell still didn't go away. Good manure tho..
