Our party keeps encountering:
1.) poop rooms
2.) poop monsters
3.) rooms filled with feet of garbage
4.) etc.
How can we negate our sense of smell and along with it, the nausea of these encounters?
I am comfortable with the mid-level spells and items like the necklace of adaptation, but I'm curious if less expensive or more party oriented methods exist.
Cover your nose. That's +4 to the save.
My prefered method is to urinate on a hankerchief and tie it around your nose and mouth.
After all, everyone enjoys their own brand.
I wouldnt let it completely negate the nausea but I would give a +2 circumstance bonus to save against the effect.

Keep a bag of peppermints on hand, or something else that's very strongly scented. That's basically how people dealt with the issue in the real world.
@Secret, can you quote a rule for that? I couldn't find it. Or is that word game with cover.
Terrap Sap gives a bonus to any scent based saves for a few rounds after opening. Soothe Syrup and Stillgut both give a bonus to resist anything that would make you nauseated, Stillgut even gives you a second save if you drink it after you got sick.
Better living through Alchemy
Soothing Word will reduce the penalties already suffered.

It was a pun, but seriously, anyone can hold their breath to avoid inhaled things:
Suffocation
A character who has no air to breathe can hold her breath for 2 rounds per point of Constitution. [...] After this period of time, the character must make a DC 10 Constitution check in order to continue holding her breath. The check must be repeated each round, with the DC increasing by +1 for each previous success.When the character fails one of these Constitution checks, she begins to suffocate. In the first round, she falls unconscious (0 hit points). In the following round, she drops to –1 hit points and is dying. In the third round, she suffocates.
Prestidigitation.
Unfortunately, for many people, walking through an open sewer filled with a small river of poop causes nausea as much by the psychological impact of the situation as it does from the smell.
For a real world example, there's a video on youtube of a guy playing a practical joke on a friend. He puts chocolate pudding in one of his baby's diapers, and acted like the baby had taken a poop. He then insisted on showing this to his friend, who went absolutely ballistic, throwing a total fit about how disgusting it was, and gagging multiple times in an effort to not vomit.
An outlier, of course, but funny nonetheless.
That would be, of course, contemplated in the Constitution check to hold breath.
