Skunks have a special gland that produces the liquid spray. A skunk lifts its tail and releases the spray when it is scared. It creates a terrible stench that wards off predators and makes skunks very unpopular.
No, spray does't make people sick. If you are bitten by an unvaccinated skunk, you need to worry about rabies, but rabies cannot be transmitted by spray. However, the smell might make you vomit.
I think that the liquid is called musk. The skunks spray it to enemies, it comes out from it's butt.
A skunk smell could also be caused by gas leaks, certain plants like the skunk cabbage, or other animals like some breeds of pet ferrets, who have a scent similar to skunks. It can also be perceived as a symptom of certain medical conditions in humans, such as metabolic disorders.
Skunk smell is caused by a chemical compound called thiol, specifically the compound (E)-2-butene-1-thiol, which is produced by the skunk's anal glands as a defense mechanism. Thiol compounds are known for their strong, foul odor reminiscent of rotten eggs or garlic.
A skunk is black with a white stripe. The white stripe typically runs from the head to the tail, and skunks use their distinctive coloring to warn predators of their ability to release a foul-smelling spray as a defense mechanism.
a skunk might spray a little gas when it dies
No. Skunk spray is not flammable.It is a mixture of sulfur containing chemicals.

Skunks spray such a powerful spray of horrible odors, that a Lynx would not hunt a skunk. If it did try to, they skunk would spray it. The lynx's attack would be foiled and it would never repeat that mistake.
