Sounds like it. Probably moved to Mexico for the cheaper labor and OSHA violations probably were barreling down on him.

Wtf, were was this at? Assuming not the USA, OSHA would have had a field day with that.
That sounds fucking awful. Did they not give you guys any PPE?
How’d they get popcorn lung from that? Did it aerosolize from the us?
BTW those people who got popcorn lung which ended up coining the term, all were heavy heavy smokers. So yes it’s dangerous but it’s one of those…well it probably didn’t help that they smoked like freight trains.
That sounds horrible, I guess it’s more healthy than bearing grease though.
Same here and you’d be surprised. It’s one of those unnaturally putrid smells that even trying to breathe through your mouth fails to dilute.
Diff oil that’s been burned and over due for a change is probably one of the most vile things on the planet. Even rotting carcasses don’t match it.
Might have been some other compound, cause straight bearing grease for cars/trucks/heavy equipment/etc doesn’t smell pleasant at all.
Try smelling used diff or transmission oil…
Has no one ever smelled bearing grease? Even fresh it smells terrible.


Bahahhhahahha I’ll take whatever you’re smoking.
