Oh my fucking god! A skunk just exploded in my backyard. The back door was open and now the kitchen is a chemical gas disaster. Even in the living room where I'm sitting now, i'm having to breathe through my mouth!
@GlennS oh nooooooooo!
@peeppeepcircus we get em all the time since our burb is surrounded by woods and is also full of semi-feral cats. The skunks, cats, and raccoons seem to be at war.
i was thinking of something with vinegar and baking soda as a remedy, but i found this about adding hydrogen peroxide.

@GlennS leaving bowls of vinegar around makes sense to me. that stuff is magic.
@peeppeepcircus i'll definitely try that one.
@peeppeepcircus my wife was in the kitchen so she slammed the door immediately and then raced to the front door to close that too. Her quick reflexes may have spared us the worst of it.
@GlennS i wish i knew a remedy! i live with them around but haven't had such a close encounter.
