Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The bad odor in the urine is commonly related to an urinary tract infection.
I suggest to maintain a good hygiene and protect yourself with gloves while taking care of the patients.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
