Best demusking remedies

[masterpastor]

Now the one thing I honestly have a hard time with when I field Herp and catch a garter snake is their musk. What have any of you found to be a decent way of getting the smell off your hands? I know it isn't a big thing but it is slightly annoying.

Water, towel and time, buddy.

I don't have a lot of experience with musking, but has anyone ever tried using pumice bars or gojo/orange hand cleaner? Stuff takes diesel oil and bearing grease off like its nothing, might work on musk.

Two summers ago a friend and I went out and caught a ton of garters, we let them all go. And I had musk all over my hands. When I got home I rinsed them in paint thinner because that stuff will cut the scent off of anything. So I did that and then went inside and washed my hands with soap and water and then put some lotion on my hands. And guess what? I could still smell the musk. It was terrible. And that paint thinner found all the little cuts on my hands lol.

have you considered those very thin latex? gloves that mechanics wear, they resemble those used by surgeons,[perhaps they are the same ones]

Leave it on and enjoy the smell... It's like freshly baked snake musk cookies!!! But really, I use lemonlime hand sanitizer when I get musked/pooped on. Though, I'm prone to getting sick really easily, so it's a habit to use a ton of it when there's poop involved.

A gift from the Garter Gods.

After awhile you won't even notice it, much

Smells like a good day of herping to me. If I come home reeking, you know I had a good time.

Yup. Just live with it.

It wears off soon if you wash your hands
