The poisonous gas that smells like cotton candy is likely ethyl mercaptan, which is added to natural gas for safety reasons to give it a detectable odor. Ethyl mercaptan has a sweet, somewhat pleasant odor, reminiscent of cotton candy. While it is not toxic in small amounts, it can be harmful in high concentrations, making it important to recognize its smell as a warning sign of a gas leak.
