Marabou reacts poorly to oils, rabbit fur does better; but it's still best to just dab a very small amount of scent on the front part of the jig head - or don't use any and just keep your hands washed when fishing. I have also read that washing used jigs in a bowl of warm water with a little Lemon Joy soap will remove the oils. Just rinse and let dry, and they fish like new if they are in good shape.
