I thought the same thing!

Maybe the producers of the segment threw together a tank real quick to get on video?

Wouldn't it take a lot Lot more exposure to be dangerous? It's an irritant at a low level, maybe more so for asthmatics. But I would think dangerous levels would be hard to reach.

I had my reactor offline too, I was waiting on a replacement part. It was foul when I popped off that lid, made my eyes water and gave me a headache. But I wouldn't call that dangerous. Maybe I'm a risk taker.

I've seen/smelled quite a few nasty eggs from things sitting too long. The bigger the filter/reactor/bucket o mess and the longer it sits, the worse it gets. When I find an unattended bucket of slop, I make sure to not anger it (disturb the surface) before taking it out back. Then I find the person responsible and make them clean it. We smile and pretend the place doesn't smell, discreetly spraying fabuloso at every corner...
