Left a fish oil pill in my pocket

When I washed my jeans and now I can't get the smell out.  I've washed them using just plain detergent, with detergent and baking soda, with detergent and vinegar, with detergent and vinegar in the wash and extra vinegar in the rinse...

 Anyone know how to get the smell out?

    Eeeewwww!  I'm not certain that any of these will work, but you could try:

    ---stuffing it with newspaper and then putting the jeans in a plastic bag and leaving them for a few days to let the paper absorb the stink. 

    ---scenting some baking soda with EO and dusting the jeans or pocket with that combination, then vacuuming up the baking soda.

    Good luck!

    I don't have any help, but I do have sympathy:  Seth found a fish oil pill in a hotel room we were staying in and bit into it.  I don't think he got much, plus I wouldn't think it was too harmful (this was, like, 4 months ago and he's fine)... but good night!  He stunk SO BAD for a LONG time!!!  I didn't even have to tell DH about it-- he could smell it!  I feel for you!  Hope you find something to work!
