First responders — fire fighters, paramedics, and police — often find themselves working under unpleasant circumstances in places. O.C. Solutions, a California company, is offering first responders relief from at least one of these unpleasant exposures:  offensive odor. The company has developed Ick-Stik, which it claims to be a first of its kind odor control product. The product is available online and in CVS Pharmacy locations.

First responders typically turn to petroleum based vapor rub products to combat the powerful odors to which they may be subjected. Inhalation of petroleum-based products, however, may have adverse health conditions over time. The company says that Ick-Stik is a petroleum free odor control system,  effectively blocking offensive odors before they reach the nose and without long-term health effects.
