      Disclaimer: all this info is from reddit and lemmy, I’m not a doctor

      You should be able to smell it, this comic and all the pop culture tropes that the smallest drop of chloroform with amke you lose your conscience are greatly exaggerated.

      Apparently it takes a lot of chloroform for a significant amount of time for that effect.

      However chloroform is still kinda toxic, so it’s not like it’s a good idea to have it as a room scent.

        I think you get burns from direct contact and it requires continuous application, otherwise the person will wake up. At least that’s what I heard. No practical experience at all. Seriously, none at all.

      Kind of a sickly sweet if I remember right. Worked in a pharmacy that had a medication disposal box and someone dropped a bottle of the stuff in front of it.
