Default RE: Camp Fire Smoke Cover Scent?

Actually, formaldihyde in the smoke has antibacterial properties. Meat was smoked to preserve it. the smoke kills the bacteria that causes meat to rot. It is possible that it could also kill the bacteria on your skin or your clothes that would cause odor, as well as mask your scent.
