Do have to bathe in tomato juice if a skunk sprays you?

    Olfactory fatigue is the temporary, normal inability to distinguish a particular odor after prolonged exposure to that airborne compound. So if you were to bathe in tomato juice, you might fool yourself that you smell like tomato juice. However, somebody within your vicinity would not smell tomato juice, you would still smell like skunk.
