You will be taking the smell of the anatomy lab home with you. Not only will your scrubs (and other clothes) retain the smell (and possibly be splattered), but the smell will stick to you skin. Specifically, I think the the lipids, formaldehyde and decomp products stick to your hair (including the hair on your arms, etc.).
While you can wash your clothes, you’ll need a strong product to get the smell out of your hair. You may not smell it (possibly because it’s attached to the hairs in your nose, and you get used to it), but others will. You can also transfer the smell to other clothes, your sheets and pillowcases, etc.
My solution is Dr. Bronner’s 18-in-1 Hemp Peppermint Pure Castile Liquid Soap, which I’ve used for years. It’s biodegradeable, organic, and can be used as both a shampoo and body soap. And it’s great for using when outdoors (camping, etc.)…

Currently, the onlytwo places that I know of in Buffalo, NY that carry this are Wegman's (in the organic/health food section) and the Lexington Co-op on Elmwood (but it’s more expensive there). I'd order it online, it's cheaper!
Readers, let me know if you have other never-fail solutions.
