Should I Stay Home From Work If I Smell Like A Skunk?

[Cindy1302]

I live with my mom. She let her dog out late last night to do his business when he was sprayed by a skunk. We washed him with dog shampoo. The whole house reeks of skunk. I took a shower with dawn dish soap, but I can't tell whether or not I smell anymore. Should I just stay home? I don't want to bring the smell into the buildings I have to visit. If that's the case, then id have to stay home for weeks, because that'd how long it takes the smell to go away.

No.

Wash yourself and the dog in tomato juice

This should win a prize for the most unusual question asked on Answerbank! Unless your employer is very understanding and agrees to let you stay off 'for weeks' I'd say you should go to work as usual. You'll be able to judge from people's reactions if you still smell

"I can't tell whether or not I smell anymore." Get someone to give you a good sniff over, and see what they say.

This is a UK site. The only skunks I've come across in UK are human ones.
