I used to believe that if you got sprayed by a skunk, you would have to burn ALL your clothes. My mother's friend had gotten sprayed on a picnic once and Mother said she'd had to burn ALL her clothes. I was terrified of skunks because I had some dresses I really liked and I worried I'd have to go home and burn them, too if a skunk ever sprayed me.
