I am a chemical technician specialized in electroplating. I keep smelling almonds. My first thought was that somehow potassium cyanide was mixed with hydrochloric acid but, asI am not dead yet, I'm guessing that is not it.

Any ideas? I'm worried but my supervisor isn't answering the phone and the next shift of chem techs will not be here for another 4 hours. I am the only person on this side of the plant but we have a few 3rd shift production employees up front.

Should I evacuate everyone or am I overreacting?

Update- They found the source of the smell. A second shift tech thought it would be a great April Fools prank to put almond extract on the steam lines to my plating tanks. He is of course fired. I have been commended by our safety director and our CEO.

Thanks everyone who helped me and I thank god it was just a prank, albeit the most humorless and despicable prank I've ever seen.
