A vile smell that is so pungent people are having to close their windows and light candles is making people "feel sick" in Liverpool.
The odour, which was reported on Wednesday evening, was described as "horse or cow poo" by people living in Norris Green, Fazakerley, Wavertree, Fairfield, Old Swan and Everton.
Dozens of people took to social media to complain about the smell, asking their friends and neighbours if they knew where it came from. Some theories behind the smell included manure being spread on farms and it coming from the sewage treatment plant.

People took to Facebook community groups to complain of the "horrid smell" and some claimed they felt "physically sick".
One man said: "Happens all the time during the warm weather. There's a sewage treatment plant sandwiched between Hawksmoor and the East Lancs. Best to just keep doors and windows closed."
A woman added: "I googled it and apparently it happened in 2018 as well, then it was manure being spread on farms, the wind direction is bringing the smells across Faz."
Another person living in Fazakerly said: "It reeks, I blamed my kids at first haha."
A fourth person living in Wavertree said: "I've been going around the house looking for dog poo thinking the puppy has had an accident."
