has anyone here been sprayed by a skunk? I've heard it smells different than it does off the side of the road or something, can you describe the smell in detail?

It's a piercing, unpleasant chemical smell. It smells like a mix of poorly processed weed and natural gas.

to add to this when I say a piercing smell, humans can smell it from actual miles away. it's also an irritant and can cause blindness if it sprays you in the eyes.
I've found if you or your pet gets sprayed by one just soak yourself in a shit ton of liquid dish soap

Isn’t it also flammable? Not surprising it causes such an intense reaction, though a lot of animals seem able to ignore it more or less

no they are not really afraid of me, I throw hotdogs at them and they just startle for a second then eat it. One guy even hides under my stairs waiting for me.

it has sulfur in it so maybe but i'd guess it'd be the same level of danger as lighting a fart on fire - possible but kinda pointless

My dog got sprayed last year. She came to me frothing at the mouth and at first I thought she had gotten into some sort of chemical. it definately didn't smell like a dead skunk on the side of the road. It's hard to describe. It took many baths to get the smell out. Not a good time for my dog.

Give me a descented skunk for a pet. I'll pay any amount of money. Please I'm desperate.

Are skunks mustelids?

Smells like rotten garlic and burnt bandaids/rubber. The burnt rubber smell is a distinct sort of burnt rubber.

Hydrogen peroxide + baking soda + a little soap worked on mine in one bath. I washed him shortly after he got sprayed.

That was believed to be the case for a while but they’re classed as their own thing now I think, still closely related
