Woke up this morning with a horrible sore throat from the smell & the remains of the horrible headache it caused even after taking a hot shower for about 20 minutes trying to get it out of my sinuses.

If not you probably are smelling the skunk itself as it wanders around outside your house

LizardLady, I have been around wandering skunks.....nothing like this smell. It totally filled my house with the smell. That smell was way too strong for it just being a wandering through skunk. It is still lingering inside my house mildly this morning. I haven't had a chance to get outside & wander my farm around the house to see where it might have sprayed. I know that when skunks get hit by a car the smell is there for days......keeps away the turkey buzzards also until the smell goes away also. Interesting I commented about the skunk to my a neighbor that lives about 1/2-1 mile as the crow flies & she has been saying how horrible the skunk smell has been lately. It's like they spray something that's threatening them & we ALL get the horrible ordor.. I didn't realize that we had so many skunks around here as I never see them in the evening when I'm out. We are surrounded by woods so it's hard to know where the little monsters are hiding.
It was so bad last night it actually made me feel sick.
Here in the country....you catch one skunk & another will just come along to take it's place

Jo, great idea....think I will just invite some of the local ones to hang around my farm. Saw a gorgeous big red fox crossing the road the other day.

I don't know what skunk smells like.

Oh Possum....you don't want to know either.....think of how bad rotten eggs smell then imagine a smell 100 x's as bad....& you have SKUNK odor.
Another friend/neighbor had their dog missing & when they found it he was having convulsions from being sprayed by a skunk. Wonder if he will ever learn.....he's a boxer & they are just playful by nature but not always the brightest breed of dog. My dogs don't get to run. They are my house dogs & I keep them tied on a really long cable to the front trees when they are outside. Leo only knows how to get into trouble so I have to be his brains for him.
Unfortunately skunk is just part of the territory......but I truly hate it when it gets as bad as it did last night.
