I've only had them today.. not sure if it's just the fact my stomach's been a little uneasy lately.. but man.. with all the fiddling I was doing today I got many good whiffs of that and I felt ready to vomit on more than one occasion.. I had to pick up what I was doing and leave to lay down multiple times because I got so ill.. I'll get over it in time, but I didn't expect the smell to overwhelm me so much especially since it's such a mild scent and I've faced much worse.. and I'm not scared of these roaches by a long shot.. I'd have trouble with wild specimens.. but I gladly opened my container of discoids today, grabbed the biggest one I found and had it on my finger/hand/arm for a good hour checking it out.. such fascinating creatures, I may forego my next herp just to get some new roaches.. Death heads, Giganteus, and those new Zebra ones are first on my list
