I remember a long time ago that when I cut an aloe vera leaf, there's a clear liquid that smells "fresh".

The leaf of my aloe plant gives out a yellow liquid (very yellow) and it smells really bad. To me it is...it makes me nauseous [Razz] !

What's wrong with my aloe? Are they supposed to me like that?

Lily,
My experience with aloe excretion is that it gets "stinky" or yellowed when the fronds are sickly, otherwise it is normally just like the bottled aloe that is in the stores. Does it look shriveled or otherwise abnormal? My own aloe got this way only after it was severely overwatered(by me), or when I broke a frond without removing it entirely. Hope this helps, but I'm sure others here are more knowledgeable about aloe problems then I am.
