    Some say that if you're sprayed by a skunk, bathing in tomato juice will help alleviate the rancid smell.

    Been sprayed with tomato juice, I do not know of any health benefits but there is a tomato festival in Spain, thousands of people spraying tomato at themselves for 2 days non stop. Am not sure how they feel after that but what a waste of food. This takes place every summer in a place called Pamlona in north of Spain.
