Oof. I’ve had to deal with skunk 3 times. And one time I got hit too.
No fun. That stuff if so much worse when it’s fresh.
When I was a student, I did an internship in a chemistry lab. On one of the days, someone brought in some samples of skunk secretion for an analysis.
Everyone was like Not again i dont want that, let the intern do this!
I thought how bad could it be?. Turns out really bad. It days to stop that smell. And I mostly handled the sealed phials and only opened a single one for a gas chromatography without spilling something...
Oh boy yeah that sounds awful, it was bad enough with them isolated downstairs and after washing the dog immediately. Both times I could very easily smell it in my room for at least a week, fades over time though, first few days suckkkk.
