Latest / Chemistry For Your Life
Why do skunks smell so bad? (and is there anything we can do about it?)
What makes skunk spray smell so astonishingly bad, and why can the odor come roaring back whenever a sprayed dog gets wet? Are humans unusually sensitive to skunk smell? Does tomato juice actually remove it, or have cartoons been lying to us for decades? In this spooky episode, Melissa and Jam investigate skunk spray, sulfur compounds, olfaction, odor removal, and the chemistry behind a smell that simply refuses to die.
