A WOMAN has issued an urgent warning after finally working out the dangerous reason why her bedroom stank of fish.<\/p>\n
Claudia Anderson, who is 26, explained how a fishy odour was lingering around her bedroom for weeks…and she was horrified to finally realise where it was coming from. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
In a clip shared to TikTok (@mrsclaudiaanderson), she begins: "Here's something I didn't know about a potential electrical call fire hazard until it happened to me.<\/p>\n
"Now, for a few weeks, me and my husband were walking into our bedroom and thinking, 'oh my God, it stinks of fish in our bedroom.'<\/p>\n
"We didn't want to tell anyone about it because you're a bit embarrassed."<\/p>\n
Claudia goes on to say how they decided to look at the plumbing in their en suite, assuming that's where the smell was coming from. <\/p>\n
"So we took out the U bend from the sink, made sure the toilet was super clean, cleaned the plug hole in the shower…everything," she says.<\/p>\n "But the smell still lingered."<\/p>\n FABULOUS VEGAS: JOIN TO CLAIM \u00a3100 BONUS<\/strong> PLUS 50 FREE SPINS<\/p>\n However, still not getting to the bottom of it, she finally had enough and decided to take to Google to try and find an explanation. <\/p>\n And she was shocked to discover that the fishy smell could be a result of a serious electrical issue. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "I literally would never, ever have guessed that that is what that is…ever," she says.<\/p>\n "So I messaged my brother-in-law who's an electrician, and he said, 'yeah, that's probably something you should get checked out.'<\/p>\n "So I called my father-in-law, who also used to be an electrician, and he came around this morning and had a look."<\/p>\n Claudia then gave a glimpse of what it was causing the problem.<\/p>\n Pointing to the fuse box, she says: "This is attached to our own suite and there's our bedroom.<\/p>\n "So every time we walked in here, we were like, 'this smells like fish,' but it's actually this..<\/p>\n "There was a wire that had become disconnected, and I don't know if you can see but it was actually melting the plastic on the inside of the socket.<\/p>\n "Look at that. That is terrifying!<\/p>\n "We were so, so lucky that we caught that before that burst into flames."<\/p>\n She went on to urge people that if you ever have an unexplained fishy smell in any of your rooms, then to call an electrician immediately.<\/p>\n The post has since gone viral, garnering a whopping 34k views and several comments, with many commending Claudia for speaking out and raising awareness.<\/p>\n "That happened to me I found it just in time my living room light was melting. Would've lost my house in a fire any later," wrote one.<\/p>\n A second penned: "Lucky you!!! I\u2019ve made a mental note of fishy might mean electrical. So thanks for that!"<\/p>\n A third commented: "That happened to us but it was plastic near the light bulb."<\/p>\n Meanwhile, a fourth added: "Fish is an electrical burning smell."<\/p>\n And a further added: "I had this – bought an 80s house where nothing had been changed and someone had drilled through cables in the walls cooker cable in the kitchen, scary!"<\/p>\n<\/picture>DRY AGAIN <\/span><\/p>\n
