Survival Tip #66

Skunks

Arguably people will smell worse in the Primal Age, but being sprayed by a skunk will still be more than most people can handle in the smell-o-vision world. Whether it is you, you’re dog, or anything else, here is a simple cleaning solution to quickly remove the smell.

1 quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide
¼ cup baking soda
1 teaspoon of strong liquid soap such as dishwashing detergent.

Be sure to mix it in an open container, and only apply to the sprayed areas. Also, any clothing you happen to be wearing at the time is likely a lost cause. Skunks are best to be avoided at all times, however if you are trapping animals and come across one in the live trap, you want to shoot it through both lungs so that it doesn’t spray when it dies. I repeat, avoid skunks.
