oh yes. yes indeed. they give you the whole thing about it being better because they don't use formaldehyde.. but I maintain that whatever they DO use smells much worse..
it was hideous -- last semester I was in a genetics lab course and while we were only working with fruitflies, we got to share the room that was used for all of the dissections.. and we got to use it at the end of the day.. What a wonderful odor THAT was!
