7 jobs that make nursing look better

Stool Sample Analyzer

Wondering who gets to the bottom of your bathroom dilemmas? Stool analyzers dive into patients’ samples to diagnose digestive conditions. The dissection tests check the color, weight, shape and odor of the droppings. The techs also identify any blood and mucus present in the samples. All day long.

Deodorant Tester

Deodorants are made to reduce perspiration and mask unpleasant bodily odors. How do you test them? Easily — by taking whiffs of subjects’ underarms and rating their pungentness on a scale of 1-10. And we’re not talking about the pits of the idle. To best test a deodorant’s strength, the subjects will have moved, shaked and perspired their ways to evaluators’ noses. So if sniffing noxious B.O. all day is your cup of tea, Dove is awaiting your call!

Breath Smeller

How do you tell how well gum and mouthwash mask odors? By testing them on garlicky mouths and unbrushed teeth, of course. The lucky odor analyzers sniff everything from nasty morning breath to mouths scrubbed with onion to evaluate an odor-reducer’s strength. And what about Fido? Dog breath analyzers interested in the effect of diet on a dog’s teeth seek out the filthiest canine mouths. The categories they use to sort the stench? Sweaty, salty, musty, fungal or decaying. Yum.
