I live in a highly wooded area in PA and I have often smelled strong cucumber in the middle of walking my dogs. Many people say that it's an old wives' tale that copperheads smell like cucumbers, but my question is... what else would smell like cucumbers that strongly? In my research, I have learned that they do emit a musk, but whether that musk smells like cucumbers is a mystery.
What else can I help you with?
