basically as title says, is there any way to get the stink of rabbit guts out of your hands?, went shooting thismorning, bagged a half grown bunny and gutted and skinned it, washed my hands about 10 times(no exaduration) and they still stink of it.

it makes sense to use latex gloves, have had a few pictures put up on here with me and my blue latex :icon_redface: gets a few laughs, but saves driving home smelling of shite/guts

The previous suggestion regarding the Stainless steel (or possibly aluminium ?) soap is a good one.

 

Years back i worked for a company who were less that generous when paying their staff a decent salary and many had second jobs to make ends meet.

 

One of the guys there worked evenings on the fish counter (at sainsburys i think), so he was handling fish for a six hour shift.

 

As you can imagine his missue wasn't best pleased about the smell of his hands on weekdays and those metal soaps had just come out, so he bought one and it worked a treat, if it can work for someone who is up to his elbows in fish for six hours an evening, five evenings a week then it would probably work for you and is worth a try, although i haven't seen them marketed for a while now so am unsure where you would buy one from.

 

I you find one and it works for you let us know

 

all the best

And, if like myself, you are wondering how/if it works, this is from Wikipedia;

 

A stainless steel soap is a piece of stainless steel, usually in the shape of a soap bar. Its purpose is to neutralize or reduce strong odours from the hands, present from handling odorous ingredients such as garlic, onion or fish.[1] The shape of a soap bar is purely decorative and any piece of stainless steel, such as a spoon, can be used for the same purpose.

There are similar applications, such as stainless steel disks in shoes and dishwashers, that are used to absorb odors. [2]

 

In the absence of plausible chemical explanations of why this may work, or experiments using controls, it is unknown whether the stainless steel soap is actually effective. Stainless steel soaps are often advertised for use with water; so it is likely that sulfurous compounds either dissolve directly in the water or their removal is catalyzed by the steel, if indeed the odor removal is measurably greater with stainless steel than any other substance.

 

Stainless steel consists of mainly iron and chromium, and contains a thin layer of chromium (III) oxide on its surface. Metal oxides are Lewis acids and readily catalyze oxidations. Iron and chromium oxides can be used as oxidation catalysts, effective for industrial-scale oxidation of odorous reduced sulfur compounds at a temperature of 180 C.[3] For this to occur to begin with, the compounds must adsorb on the metal oxide surface. Chromium(III) may also act as an adsorbent only. Another plausible explanation is that a thin layer of grease, containing the odorous compounds, is rubbed off mechanically onto the steel surface.

 

Personally, I think that it's on a par with magnets and arthritis, if it works for you, then fine.
