Poison can have a variety of smells, but some common ones include a bitter or metallic odor. It can also sometimes smell like chemicals or rotten eggs. Recognizing poison by smell alone can be difficult, so it's important to also look for other signs such as unusual colors, labels indicating toxicity, or unusual packaging. If you suspect something is poisonous, it's best to avoid contact and seek help from a professional.
