A mysterious fishy smell in your home could signal a serious electrical hazard, not just an unpleasant odor.Katie Rose Dugger discovered this when a persistent fishy smell in her son’s bedroom led her to an overheating electrical outlet.
An electrician found a loose wire inside the outlet, which was melting the plugs and creating a potential fire risk.If you notice an unexplained fishy smell, stop using nearby outlets, avoid touching hot or damaged equipment, and contact a qualified electrician promptly. If you see smoke or fire, leave immediately and call emergency services.
