Skunk Scent on Clothes

[davebrum]

Has any one else noticed skunk scent on there clothes after handling them - and the difference on different types of cloth?

I ask as the first couple of times i wsa handling skunks i had a woollen jumper on - and the musky natural scent they had lingered on it for a couple of days (though very mild).

However today on a T shirt made of cotton it hasnt left any residue at all - which makes me wonder if there is an oil in skunks fur that is similiar to the lanolin of wool which makes it soak it up when they are held.

anyone else come across it?
NOTE: i mean the skunks natural musky sweet natural scent - not spray or scent glands - thankfully i havent had to smell that <G>

I dont notice the smell as im used to it but my mum is forever telling me i smell of the skunks lol

Its a possibilty that it soaks into different materials more as when i have t shirts on my mum dosnt smell it but yet if i have a jumper on she does

so its a strong possibility
