What is what to do when a skunk sprays you?

If you've been sprayed by a skunk, here's what to do:

Act Fast: The sooner you address the spray, the better. The longer it sits, the harder it is to remove.
Protect Your Eyes: Skunk spray can irritate your eyes. Flush them with plenty of water or a sterile saline solution. If irritation persists, consult a doctor.
The Proven Skunk Odor Remover Recipe:
- Mix 1 quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide, ¼ cup of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of liquid dish soap (like Dawn).
- Important: Use this mixture immediately after preparing it. Do not store it in a closed container, as it can build up pressure and explode.
- Apply the mixture to the affected areas, avoiding the eyes.
- Let it sit for 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water.
- Repeat if necessary.
For Your Clothing and Fabrics: Wash clothing and fabrics separately from other laundry using laundry detergent and 1/2 cup of baking soda. If the smell persists after washing, consider discarding the items. For items that cannot be washed, dry cleaning might help, but the odor may not be completely removed.
For Your Pets: Use the same hydrogen peroxide mixture described above, but be extremely careful to avoid their eyes, nose, and mouth. Rinse thoroughly.
Avoid: Chlorine bleach. It can react with the skunk spray and make the smell worse.
Ventilate: Open windows and use fans to help air out your home.
Clean Anything The Skunk Touched: Disinfect any areas the skunk might have touched to prevent the odor from lingering.
