No. They just reek.

My dog was sprayed full in the face with his mouth open. He foamed at the mouth a little, and his eyes were bloodshot, but other than the smell, he was none the worse for wear in about an hour.

See other wiki answers for getting rid of the smell.

Skunks can be dangerous if you provoke them. They can bite you. They are also prone to get rabies, which is a deadly disease that humans can catch from a bite. Of course, a skunk is most likely to spray you with horrible smelling liquid if you bother them.

No, not really. Skunk spray can irritate the nostrils and eyes, but in most cases will not adversely affect humans.

Yes, some skunks have rabies. If you encounter skunks on your property, don't go near them and contact removal services like the critter guy to remove them.

Yes, because skunks sprayed and possibly carry rabies, remove it from your property correctly by doing unharmful to the animal. Contact The Critter Guy here if you're from Ontario.
