According to my neighbor, who shits his pants on occasion, the smell is your primary clue. He says skatole smells different than H2S.
We talk from a distance. He's our neighborhood shitspert.

Wow, titmeltoes.
He’s also a liar, H2S is fatal in concentrations far lower than what our olfactory senses will register.
Now thats a fun night...
Great memories come from bad desions!!!
It can be smelled sub-ppm. 800 ppm is the LD-50 for a 5 minute exposure. I wish I could fart for 5 minutes. I would do the Star Spangled Banner, Thank God I'm a Country Boy and the chorus from In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.
Didn't know this:
Neighbor called me today while I was driving to work. There was a snake in her window flower box and she wanted me to come move it. Probably a rat snake, I put them in my well house. She was on her own untill hubby returned.
When I was in the reptile trade, I could get a mom who's child wanted a snake, to hold one within 5-10 minutes. It's the approach that gets them. People throw a snake in their face and expect them to accept it. I would start off with me holding the entire snake and them petting the back end of the snake. Then I'd get them to hold the snake towards the tail while I held the snake, then we'd work our way to them holding the snake but me holding the head. Then I'd let go of the head and when the snake didn't attack them, like they thought it would, they'd open up to the kid getting a snake.
It's more involved than that, but that's the gist. You wouldn't believe how easy it is to get a colorful, good looking snake sale to one of these parents. At least that's my story.....

I like my snakes like I like my communists.
Where I grew up in northeast Kansas was the worst. I was 3 miles from the Missouri River. It was common to be in the 90’s with 80%+ humidity. The good thing was the shirt soaked in sweat kept you cool until you stopped sweating then you knew you were in trouble. I’m currently in western Ks and still visit eastern Ks. It’s like being in the fucking Amazon.
Ah come on. What's a snake ever done to you? I've been bit over 100 times and still love me some snakes. I had 73 breeding snakes at one time. Ya gotta love them for that much commitment.
Lets find out how many 12ga blasts that door can take

I am an expert.
You only smell it once. H2S paralyzes your olfactory senses. You smell it, then you don't, then if concentration is high enough, bam you're dead.
Where I grew up there wasn't really any snakes that weren't deadly.
I lost my first childhood dog to a snake.
Try watching some children at the playground and you look over and see a bamboo pit viper sitting on a pipe about 1 foot away from where a little girl is playing and you have to figure out how to get them to freeze without freaking out while you get over there with a hoe post haste.
We grew up basically being, see snake and kill it before it kills you.
Later in life I went to other places where apparently the snakes weren't all deadly...
Actually I’m an expert as well worked 23 yours on a sulfur recovery unit and if the concentration is high enough it will burn out your sense of smell immediately and it will also blind you, it paralyzes everything if it drops you in a high enough concentration you could have the best doctors in the world feet away and they will not be able to bring you back
Hate the shit SO2 is bad as well

Yeah… so is an oven… but here near Washington DC the humidity makes anything near 100 oppressive. So dry heat good.But It's A Dry Heat

He's (armorpl8chikn) right, you know. If you can't smell H2S, then either you are fine, or you're fucked.
Check for a pulse as a guide to how you are doing. Pulse = good, no pulse = not quite so good.
Dealing with that acid gas right now. Making that molten sulfur. As long as you smell it it’s not that bad.
One of my ancestors, Elisha Stephens, was the captain of the Stephens/Murphy party that came over the Sierras 2 years before the Donner party. It was Chief Truckee that led them through the passes. Elisha Stephens named the area (now town of) Truckee and the nearby lake, Truckee Lake. (Now Donner Lake)
