sulfur water
Volcanic hot springs
Water containing dissolved hydrogen sulfide, giving it a distinctive rotten-egg smell.
Sulfur water occurs naturally in hot springs and some wells, and has long been associated with therapeutic bathing: The spa advertised its sulfur water as a cure for skin conditions.
The smell is unmistakable and off-putting to many, though some drink it for purported health benefits.
