    If the skunk didn't actually spray it in the house you're probably fine. But if the oil got on anything in the house use vinegar, water and dawn dish soap to get the oil off

    I don't understand this. Do skunks just randomly spray their environment? I thought it was directed at people and animals. How did the smell move around your house?

    Sprayed outside my back door, likely attacked by a fox, and well homes circulate air.

    Could have been spraying at a cat or any other predator. Just close enough to the house to get it stinky.

    I used to think it was just me that thought skunk and weed smelled similar.

    The guys who've been gaslighting me for years are in trouble!

    Mercaptans (skunk) actually don't smell that much like terpenes (weed, hops, many aromatic plants). The presence of Sulfur atoms in the former class are almost always considered objectionable to test subjects, whereas the latter -- simple hydrocarbons --are much more widely viewed positively. Some folks think mycene (a very common plant terpene and a major aroma of fresh, green-wet hops and a big terpene in many weed strains) smells like skunk. Not in my experience. Dried and oxygenated terpenes become terpenoids, and often get more spicy/peppery adding to the weed like "dank" nose that is often mis-described as skunky. Twenty years ago I never would have imagined "dank" as an aroma descriptor for beer, but here we are.

    I once knew a girl who special ordered dried hops and smoked them instead of the other because she had to pass random tests at her job. Apparently certain hops provide similar stress relief when combusted.

    Stress relief can come in many forms...

    I’ve always heard it gets the stank off you. So it doesn’t include K9’s?

    Negative. You need peroxide, baking soda, and dawn dish soap. The WOMD is a lipid-based liquid so you need something that will neutralize the stink (baking soda) separate the fatty portion of the WOMD (Dawn) and the peroxide will clean up the remaining leftovers. I’ve used it numerous times. The catch is that when the pooch gets wet again, it will resurface. You have to do this 2-3 to de-skunk the pooch.
