In reply to  a preceding article about the use of skunk oil as an
anti-rape weapon.  Yes skunk oil is available, and it is effective.
It does have the problem that if the would be rapist is on some
kinds of drugs, his sense of smell is wiped out.  So the skunk oil
is not effective.  Also the company also manufactures a skunk oil
scent removal kit (e.g. tomato juice) so the victim does not have to
smell for 4-5 days.  Presumably the attacker can use tomato juice
too, so the smell will not identify to the police.
