We have a Frazier Fur that we put up just after Thanksgiving. There is
an odor coming from the water in the stand that is very much like
vomit. I'm not kidding.

It might be caused by the sap. The nickname for true firs (all others
besides Doug Fir) is **** Fir because of the odor of the sap when you
peel the bark. As others have stated, you can use some chlorine bleach.
Also, you can use plastic wrap to seal off the area over the water to
keep the odor from coming into the room.
