An olfactory training device and method replicating one or more aromas typical of any man-caused or natural incident or accident, especially such aromas accompanied by or originating in open, smoldering, or smoking fire. Such aromas may originate from burning tissue, bones, cartilage, or other bodily materials. Such burning aromas may also originate from other synthetic or natural materials. One or more such olfactory training devices may be dispersed in a manner to engage the olfactory-sensory system of a trainee. The olfactory training device may be classroom-deployed, field-deployed, laboratory-deployed, or deployed via any type of setting-deployable training device or protocol. |

1. A method for presenting at least one olfactory training device to engage an olfactory-sensory system of a trainee to simulate the odors of a burning body encountered in disaster situations, comprising the steps of:
a) selecting from mammals, reptiles, amphibians, vertebrates, or invertebrates one or more bioorganic materials comprising animal flesh, animal bones, or animal blood and further comprising one or more bioorganic materials selected from the list consisting of: animal urine, animal feces, animal hair, and animal keratin and unguis; b) forming from said selected bioorganic materials a unitized compaction of said bioorganic materials; c) encapsulating said unitized compaction of said bioorganic materials by coating said compaction with a material selected from the group consisting of: paper, cardboard, cloth, wax, and plastic, wherein step c) occurs after step b); d) allowing for the ignition of said coating; and e) allowing for the combustion of said unitized compaction, wherein the combustion of said compaction simulates the odors of a burning body encountered in disaster situations. |
