I've heard it said "... be careful what you ask for".
You got it ...

> Denise, not stinking too badly now (I don't think)

Denise and James, thank you both for responding. As a gift to you Denise I
quote this nugget from the old tractor list I subscribe to:

In _Veterinary Histology_, Dr Thomas Caceci says

"Forget what you have heard about tomato juice: it doesn't work. Skunk
spray
is composed mainly of low-molecular-weight thiol compounds. (Thiols are
compounds with the -SH radical attached to a carbon atom.) In industry,
alkaline hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is used for scrubbing similar compounds
from waste gas streams. A report in the October 18th, 1994 Chemical and
Engineering News (published by the American Chemical Society) gives this
modified formula for use on housepets:

1 quart 3.0% hydrogen peroxide solution from the drugstore
1/4 cup baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
1 teaspoon of liquid soap

This quantity is the "house cat sized" version; make up multiples as
needed
for larger animals. Rinse the odoriferous victim of the skunk's rage in
this, work it well into the fur, and follow with a warm tap water rinse."

Folks who have used this recipe report astounding results. The chemical
reaction neutralizes the thiols, and the odor disappears instantly.

Good luck

Warren
