beads have a foul odor.

Never heard of this before, wondering if anyone had this happen to them. I recharged two tubes of beads the other day and realised that they had an extremely strong smell, not unlike whiskey or tequilla. I checked my cooler and it did not share the smell.

I let them sit for a while, and when I felt they had lost some of the odor I put them back in my cooler. It was a few hours later that I was wotried and opened the cooler to check on them. Now it smells horrible in there!

Have the beads simply gone bad? They're less than a year old and have been recharged no more than 4 or 5 times. Is there anything I can do to save them?
