Raw sewage. We had some leak up into an apartment back when I was a maintenance guy. The smell actually assaults the eyes first, then you start gagging. We had to lock the apartment off for a full month while the clean-up company did their thing. They were wearing full on gas masks and goggles.
Sewage can produce poisonous gasses, so that’s probably why you felt it in your eyes first. Some gasses react with water and create an acid, so you would feel them first in your eyes or mucous membranes.
